Victorian Valentine Greeting Card with Cherub Heart Die-Cut

A disembodied child's head in a Revolutionary War tricorn hat floats inside a red heart like a romantic ghost conscripted into delivering someone else's marriage proposal—which is to say, this curly-haired cherub in their lacy collar has been enlisted as an emotional courier for a coward too shy to write their own Valentine. The verse manages to be both grammatically exhausting and emotionally manipulative in just four lines, which is genuinely impressive. A vertical border of embossed red hearts marches down the right side like a tiny army of romantic intentions, while a ribbon-tied bouquet of forget-me-nots dangles below as if to whisper 'also, please don't forget me'—a plea that, paired with a bodiless child's head, is doing some truly heroic emotional labor.
