Victorian Valentine Cherubs with Basket of Hearts and Flowers Greeting Card
Description
Distinctive for its masterful chromolithographic rendering, this exquisite Victorian Valentine features two winged cherubs with rosy cheeks and curled hair holding a wicker basket overflowing with red hearts and flowers. Their delicate wings and flowing dresses—one lavender, one sage green—exemplify the romantic sensibility of the era. The composition cascades with abundant floral elements below, including vibrant flowers and additional roses, all rendered in soft, luminous color printing against a pale mint background. A red heart pierced by an arrow appears at the bottom alongside a decorative ribbon scroll, showcasing the masterful techniques characteristic of late-19th-century sentimental Valentines.
