Of my Love, the Angels in Heaven might tell,

Description

"Of my Love, the Angels in Heaven might tell," reads the sweetly sentimental verse on this enchanting Victorian Valentine featuring two cherubs in a pastoral landscape with floating red hearts. One cherub, nude with a yellow bow/ribbon, reaches upward toward a heart-laden tree, while the companion angel in a lavender dress holds a red heart and gazes forward. The lush pastoral setting with wildflowers and distant hills creates a heavenly paradise theme, while the chromolithographic printing showcases the delicate artistry characteristic of late-Victorian greeting card design.
