Victorian Cherub Valentine Card with Red Heart and Violet Garland

Like a Valentine's Day Instagram filter cranked to maximum saturation, this card features two cherubs — each clutching their own red heart like tiny romantic hostages — locked in a direct lip-to-lip kiss beneath a massive red heart suspended in the sky, adorned with a pearl-dotted ribbon and flanked by golden swag garlands dripping with purple violets, because apparently subtlety was murdered in the Victorian era. The text 'To My Valentine' floats in the clouds around this celestial make-out session as if the sky itself needs to editorialize. The overall composition — babies kissing, hearts everywhere, flowers cascading from above, a ribbon fluttering dramatically below — is less 'romantic greeting card' and more 'evidence exhibit in a case against whoever decided infants should be the mascots of human desire.'
