Victorian Valentine's Day Greeting Card with Cherub and Hearts
Text on Card
Love's Greeting
Description
At the center of this composition sits a golden-haired child perched atop an oversized red heart, surrounded by a dreamy arrangement of floating hearts in red and gold. The figure, dressed in period clothing with a green jacket, brown knickerbockers, and yellow wooden clogs, holds a teal umbrella while seated beside a wicker basket. A white dove flies nearby beneath the large heart, which bears the text 'Love's Greeting.' Delicate scattered hearts adorn the card's upper border, exemplifying the sentimental aesthetic that defined Victorian Valentine's traditions.
