To my Valentine

Description

From the height of the Victorian era comes a charming Valentine's Day greeting card that exemplifies the sentimental romance of the late 19th century. A cherubic cupid draped in flowing pink fabric stands beside an ornate heart-shaped arrangement filled with delicate blue forget-me-nots and white daisy-like flowers. Two white doves carry a white fabric or ribbon that drapes around the heart arrangement. The soft pastel palette of cream, blue, pink, and green creates an ethereal, dreamy quality enhanced by fine chromolithographic printing techniques. A small basket of pink flowers sits at the cupid's feet.
