Victorian Valentine Cherubs with Lute & Flowers - Antique Greeting Card
Text on Card
To My Valentine.
Description
Delicate forget-me-nots carpet the meadow while heart-laden branches hang from a flowering tree, anchoring this exquisite Victorian valentine that celebrates love through a dreamy pastoral scene populated by winged cherubs engaged in musical romance. Two plump cupids orchestrate an idyllic moment in a lush garden—one strumming a lute while the other sits holding a heart, with decorative symbols of affection cascading throughout the composition. A wicker basket overflows with red hearts, all rendered in luminous chromolithography. The decorative text 'To My Valentine' anchors the scene in the upper left corner, epitomizing the sentimental excess and romantic idealism of the Victorian era.
