Here is a pretty little German Valentine's Day greeting card, from the early 1900s or Edwardian era. It was given to a Louella Moses by S.M. possibly a brother or husband.
It is a die-cut, embossed, and a pull-down or stand-up card, designed to create a 3D effect when displayed. 
The card features a cherub or Cupid, holding a small letter. The cherub is depicted riding a dove, a symbol of peace and love.  The card is richly decorated with embossed pink and red roses and other floral elements, adding to its romantic theme. 
Such elaborate Valentine's cards, particularly those with die-cut and embossed features, were commonly printed in Germany during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This piece would make a lovely addition to your collection.
Approximately 3" tall.
Condition - It is good for its age. The wing tips of the dove are bent/ripped. Overall a lovely piece.
*My greeting cards are "VINTAGE" from the 1890s through the 1990s.
*Some may show signs of age; such as yellowing, creases etc. 
*Sometimes I have to replace the original envelope. Fit might not be exact. Keep in mind, vintage envelopes often yellow at a faster rate than their cards do.
