My Air-Ship is Light Valentine


This card pictures a lighter-than-air craft with four main parts: passenger compartment, propulsion system, a fabric covered stucture containing a lighter-than-air gas, and the steering mechanism. The first air-ship was invented in 1900.

The passenger is cupid.
The sentiment:
My Valenine think of me.
My air-ship is light,
my heart is free,
Young Cupid shall bear my love to the.
