Description
A large heart shape in pale cream dominates this Victorian chromolithograph, framing two cherubic cupids engaged in a whimsical business consultation. The winged cherubs face each other across a diminutive desk, their wings partially visible, with one cupid on the right displaying a quiver of arrows. Set against a red background, the card's clever text—'What can we do to improve business?'—paired with the closing 'To the one I love' suggests this was a humorous greeting meant to bridge commerce with romance.
