With fondest Love. These words perform their mission well, If they my warm affection tell.

Description

This exquisite Victorian Valentine features a charming cherub or putto figure dressed in red with a decorative collar, gazing downward with sweet innocence. The ornate die-cut border showcases intricate geometric lattice patterns typical of Victorian chromolithography, while the cherub rests upon an abundant basket overflowing with delicate blue flowers. The card's ornamental frame includes circular medallions and textured patterns that enhance its romantic appeal. Below the central image, a decorative banner adorned with red hearts and floral garlands frames the sentimental verse "With fondest Love," a quintessential Valentine's Day sentiment.
