Vintage Cupid Valentine Card Early 1900s Love Arrow Heart
Text on Card
To MY VALENTINE
Description
Nostalgic charm radiates from this delicate Edwardian-era Valentine's greeting, where a classical cherub figure stands grounded amid architectural elements rendered in the refined pen-and-ink linework characteristic of early twentieth-century greeting card design. The cherub carries his bow across his shoulders like a yoke, with a quiver of arrows at his side, while a bold red heart anchors the composition on the right to symbolize love. The phrase 'To My Valentine' appears prominently on the left, and the aged cream-colored card stock with subtle yellowing enhances the piece's timeless appeal.
Subjects
Cupid, cherub, heart, bow and arrow, column, romantic declaration
Printing Notes
Hand-colored red heart applied to printed illustration; evidence of aging and foxing consistent with early 1900s production
