Victorian Cherub Valentine: Cupids with Horseshoe & Clover

The standing cherub radiates the unsettling confidence of someone who absolutely knows they're the main character, apparently convinced that the most romantic Valentine's gesture is hoisting a horseshoe shaped like a heart while shamrocks and ribbons festoon the background like a St. Patrick's Day card had an affair with a Valentine — because clearly, seasonal confusion is exactly what 'From a True Heart' demands. His prone companion sprawled on the grass has the energy of a man who has given up on love but will absolutely keep the oversized red heart he found, smugly clutching it while smaller scattered hearts litter the ground around him like the aftermath of a very niche craft explosion. Victorian-era greeting card designers were clearly working through some things.
