To my Valentine!

Description

Elaborate decorative elements including vibrant red hearts, delicate floral sprays, and ornamental scrollwork in gold and colored ribbons — blue, pink, and gold — form the backdrop for this charming Victorian Valentine's Day greeting. Three plump cherubs carrying a shared pole or staff from which red hearts and flowers are suspended occupy the center, with only the left cherub wearing a flower crown while the others do not. The winged putti are surrounded by these ornamental flourishes, and the card's sentiment 'To my Valentine!' is inscribed in elegant script at the upper right.

Subjects

cherubs, angels, hearts, flowers, ribbons, scrollwork
