A Victorian, German printed, pull out, valentine card. This card has an image of a young child behind a gate, riding a flower decorated bicycle, while a bird carries an envelope and a basket of flowers . In the background there is a blue wreath of flowers. There are also two red paper flowers folded into the very front. The card when closed flat says "To My Valentine", then when opened, it can stand up and show a 3D like scene. The production of these cards date back to 1880's all the way to the 1915's and maybe even later on.
