Victorian Valentine Cherub Shamrock Hearts Chromolithograph Card

Why is Cupid sitting cross-legged inside a blue decorative boat absolutely drowning in four-leaf clovers, a flower crown, a shepherd's crook with a blue bow, and most importantly, a goblet of red wine? Apparently he decided that arrows are passé and has upgraded his entire operation accordingly. The expression on this chubby angelic toddler is less 'messenger of love' and more 'I have seen things that cannot be unseen, and also I will finish this wine.' Victorians, bless their chaotic little hearts, looked at the concept of romantic love and thought, 'yes, what this needs is an unsupervised wine-drinking baby on a novelty boat surrounded by good luck symbols,' and honestly, who are we to argue.
