Victorian Cherub Love's Token Valentine Greeting Card

Between the winged toddler in star-spangled bloomers and the mailbox, there's an oddly formal relationship being established — one where the cherub is essentially the postal worker facilitating a literal organ donation. If you wanted to convey 'I cherish our relationship,' a cardiac delivery system is apparently the move, because the postal service was the height of romantic technology. The cherub gazes down at its delivery with the focused intensity of someone who has done this before and will do it again, all while mounted on what can only be described as a Greco-Roman column that absolutely had something to prove, framed by cascading pink blossoms. 'Love's Token,' reads the caption at the bottom, which is one way to describe mailing someone an organ, sure.
