Young Sea Dog Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
World War I Valentine. Printed at upper left: Young Sea Dog. A large woodcut and lithograph printed in two colours (black and red ink) on a long sheet of folded thin, wove paper. A sailor viewed in profile facing left. He holds a rifle in his right hand. A heart is drawn near to his left hand with the message: My heart is / at your finger / tips you can / have it any / time. The ribbon on his cap is labelled: CORMORANT. HMS Cormorant was a Royal Navy Shore Base located in the East Atlantic, off the coast of Gibraltar. A printed verse below: You are the lad I admire, / You are my only beau, / So send me a message by wire, / That you'll quickly take me in tow. See also P.14345-R-88, another World War I Valentine for a sailor.
