Victorian Cupid Holding Hearts Die-Cut Greeting Card

A golden-curled cherub with an innocent expression thrusts both arms skyward clutching a heart in each fist, like a tiny winged referee signaling a touchdown for love. The arrow-bundle tucked through his teal sash and gold-buckled belt sits at precisely groin level — a placement no Victorian illustrator could have achieved accidentally, and yet here we are. The flowy green ribbon drapery, the feathered wings, the little pedestal base reading 'TO MY OWN TRUE LOVE' — all of it conspires to present this aggressively posed, semi-undressed infant deity as the pinnacle of romantic aspiration, and frankly, the expression on his face suggests he knows exactly what he's doing.
