Text on Card

Love is the union of two hearts That beat in silent melody, Time with its ravishes impart No fusion to its estacy.

Description

A woman and a cherubic Cupid figure share an intimate moment within a bold red heart frame in this stunning Victorian-era Valentine greeting card. The elegantly coiffed woman in profile gazes tenderly at the winged child as delicate pink apple blossoms and ornamental foliage adorned with a turquoise ribbon create an elaborate floral border around the composition. The artistic chromolithograph technique captures the romantic sentiment of the period, with soft peachy skin tones contrasting beautifully against the vibrant red background. The card includes a poignant verse about love and unity, printed in flowing script beneath the central image.
