| Description |
A woman's figure has two heads. One is smiling and says "My love to you, dear ," while the other has a forked tongue and says
"Bad luck to the wretch." The text translates roughly to: "Cheers, Sir. Oh, how polite, to indulge us with the privilege of
your presence, if I see the man I'd like to stick a pincer in his guts." The valentine suggests the recipient's words mask
malicious intentions.

Text: Wohl bekomm’s mein Herr / Ach, wie artig, uns die Ehre / Ihres Besuches zu gönnen, / Wenn ich den Menschen sehe / Möcht
icht eine glückende Zange / In seine Eingeweiden umkehren.
