Victorian Valentine Cherubs with Red Hearts - Antique Greeting Card

Like a modern heist movie but with winged toddlers, five chubby cherubs — wearing nothing but pastel fabric scraps tied around their waists — are apparently engaged in a high-stakes heart theft, with the one on the far right clutching a suspiciously large cluster of glossy red hearts while his accomplices give chase across a grassy field. Their rosy-cheeked expressions range from gleeful to mildly deranged, and one poor cherub has already face-planted into the lower left corner, presumably a casualty of the great cardiac heist. The cheerful red cursive 'To my Valentine' floating above this chaotic mob scene suggests that Victorian-era courtship involved sending your beloved a postcard of semi-nude toddler criminals sprinting through shrubbery, which, honestly, tracks.
