EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian Valentine postcard featuring the timeless figure of Cupid. Dating from the 1890s, this beautifully preserved print showcases the god of love in all his glory. With his quiver full of arrows and a mischievous smile, Cupid is poised to strike the heart of his unsuspecting target. The vibrant red heart in the foreground adds an extra touch of romance to this delightful design. The soft hues of mauve and purple in the background create a dreamlike atmosphere, while the delicate white flowers add a feminine touch. The gold accents on Cupid's wings and quiver add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the image. This postcard was likely sent as a token of affection and love on Valentine's Day, a tradition that dates back to the 15th century. The sentiment "To my fond Love" inscribed on the card adds a personal touch, making it a cherished keepsake for generations to come. The intricate details of this print, from the delicate folds of Cupid's wings to the delicate petals of the flowers, are a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. This romantic and nostalgic image is a reminder of the enduring power of love and the importance of expressing our feelings to those we hold dear.
