Vintage Valentine's Day Greeting Card with Child Playing Tennis

Her pursed lips and determined backward lean radiate the energy of someone who absolutely will not be accepting 'just friends' as a final score—this pint-sized tennis prodigy dressed in a pristine sailor outfit with a jaunty bow in her hair has apparently decided that Valentine's Day is a competitive sport and she is WINNING. She volleys a bright red heart skyward with her wooden tennis racket, with the net stretching behind her like the physical manifestation of emotional barriers she has already demolished. The caption 'A love game' is doing the lord's work here, because nothing about this child's body language suggests she knows what a game is — only war.
