sending Valentine cards dates back to 1806, when they were began to be
assembled in factories. Such early manufactured valentines were composed of
black-and-white pictures painted by the factory workers and contained delicate and artistic messages with
illustrations of turtledoves, lovers' knots in gold or silver, bows and arrow,
Cupids and bleeding hearts.
