EDITORS COMMENTS
Cupid, the Roman god of love, is depicted in this late Victorian Valentine postcard from the 1890s. With his iconic wings spread behind him, he sits casually on a cloud, holding an open book in his hands. The pages of the book are filled with romantic verses, expressing the depth of love and affection. The heart-shaped border around the image is adorned with red roses and forget-me-nots, symbols of love and remembrance. The girl receiving this card would have felt the warmth of Cupid's message, as the god of love himself delivered a fond and heartfelt message of love and romance. The soft, muted colors of the postcard, with its gentle shades of blue and red, add to the overall sense of tenderness and affection. This beautiful and timeless image reminds us of the enduring power of love and the simple pleasure of sharing a heartfelt message with someone special.
