Vintage Valentine Cupid in Motorcar - Edwardian Era

The child in the sailor suit seems thoroughly convinced he's operating a legitimate vehicle—lounging against the tufted red velvet seat with the energy of a tiny robber baron surveying his domain—despite the fact that this gold-grilled automobile is dripping with pink flowers and embellished with painted pansies on the wheels, which is absolutely no way to operate heavy machinery unsupervised. The two swallows flying overhead appear to be fleeing the scene as fast as their wings can carry them. The inscription 'To My Valentine' anchors this fever dream in the romantic genre, as if the intended message were: 'My affection for you is as unstoppable and vaguely alarming as a small child in a floral death machine.'
