This cute vintage valentine features a happy clown with his head torn through a paper heart. He is holding onto the sides of the heart with his hands. The message on the card is: Don’t Break My Heart! Be My Valentine. The illustration is from a valentine book that was published in the 1940s; it was not copyrighted.
