Wouldn't it be awful to receive one of these tomorrow, instead of a loving Valentine?

Oh wow. Yes, I never saw such Valentines. Rather harsh!
Harsh but at least the suitors knew where they stood!
This is very interesting! I do not know it.
Cheerful Valentine's Day!
Oh my gosh - learn something new every day. Never heard of such a thing - but what courage to send one and how deflating to receive one - HA!

Yikes.. that seems so terrible, although they were quite good at "cutting" back then.
Never heard of these - interesting. Must have been awful to receive one, but they're also kind of funny.
Oh my, oh my. I didn't know that this kind or anti-Valentine once existed.
My goodness! How awful to be on the receiving end of one of these!
I had never heard of them before ..... fascinating to know though!

Made me smile, I can think of a few I would have sent that too! lol
Wow! I'd never heard of this before! Yikes!
What an interesting article! The troll is not a modern invention.
I do like the one to discourage an unwanted suitor. I inherited a wonderful book from my Grandad with templates for letters for such occasions.
These are a bit harsh. I certainly would have been crushed if I received one. But I can think of someone I may have sent one to. Isn't that a terrible thought?
Lol these are hilarious!
