1970s Curly Locks Postcard

This vintage 1970s Valentine postcard captures a charming scene inspired by the “Curly Locks” nursery rhyme. A young boy is shown proposing to a girl, with two playful pigs nearby—a symbol of prosperity and good luck—while the sweet poem expresses his heartfelt intentions:

“Curly Locks, Curly Locks,
Wilt thou be mine?
I’ll be thy sweetheart, thy own Valentine;
Dress thee in laces and satins so fine,
Dearest, I promise thou wilt not repine.”

Originally published by Raphael Tuck & Sons in 1908, this 1970s reproduction by Merrimack Publishing Corp. preserves the nostalgic design and whimsy of the antique original. The card features endearing animal motifs, making it a delightful collectible for fans of nursery rhymes, and romantic ephemera. It’s a perfect piece for anyone who appreciates the charm and playful sentiment of vintage Valentines.
