Victorian Cherub Angel Love Greeting Card | Antique Winged Cupid
Text on Card
To my love
Description
A golden mandolin clutched in the delicate hands of a cherubic winged angel anchors this enchanting Victorian greeting card, rendered in intricate chromolithographic detail. The innocent figure with blonde curls and flowing blue-gray drapery floats gracefully against a honeycomb-patterned background, framed by striking geometric lace borders in black and cream that create elegant contrast. This embodiment of late-19th-century romantic sentimentality is completed by the period script inscription 'To my Love,' making it an ideal token of affection for sweethearts during the Victorian era's most sentimental holiday.
