A Gift of Love
Description
From the Victorian era comes this enchanting Valentine that captures the essence of sentimental courtship through a cherubic winged figure in flowing crimson robes. The young cupid stands beside a blacksmith's forge with an open flame, holding tongs and a hammer, working at an anvil. Red hearts are scattered on the ground and appear to be forged objects. Soft blue flowers frame the base, while the angel's innocent beauty and devoted gesture underscore the card's message of affection.
