Text on Card

A Greeting from thy Valentine. I'll send Master Cupid with a little line, And ask you to be my fond Valentine.

Description

A golden dirigible dominates this exquisite Victorian Valentine's greeting card, its emerald green silk ribbons and four-leaf clover tail fin framing a cherubic cupid nestled in a flower-adorned basket suspended beneath. The angel figure is surrounded by pink flowers and vibrant red hearts, creating a romantic tableau against a soft turquoise background. The card features delicate lithographic printing with hand-applied color, typical of the late 19th century. The text reads 'A Greeting from thy Valentine' on the left and includes a romantic verse on the right, expressing timeless sentiments of love and devotion.
