To My Valentine

Description

Dressed in nothing but bare cherubic skin and bouncing curls, a winged cupid figure stands before an ornate window framed by blooming vines and flowering plants. The figure holds a bouquet of pink/red flowers in one hand while reaching up toward the window with the other, and carries a quiver of arrows and a large red heart at their side. Pink blossoms and verdant foliage surround the composition. The card text 'To My Valentine' appears at the bottom in period-appropriate script typography, accompanied by two heart-shaped objects tied with a blue ribbon. This charming Victorian-era Valentine's Day greeting card represents the height of Victorian greeting card artistry.
