Victorian Die-Cut Valentine Card with Cherub & Pink Daisies

Absolutely smug and impossibly comfortable, a chubby-cheeked cherub with tiny white wings lounges among an avalanche of pink daisies inside a heart-shaped card, draped in a wisp of blue fabric that is doing absolutely nothing. The gold-edged heart-within-a-heart composition frames this celestial infant in layer upon layer of floral chaos, as if the Victorian designer thought 'more daisies' was the solution to every problem. At the bottom, a lavender sub-heart bears the script 'Loving greeting' — singular, no 's' — because apparently this greeting is so loving it transcends grammatical convention. The whole thing vibrates at a frequency of aggressive sentimentality that could only have been invented by an era that genuinely thought a half-naked baby angel surrounded by flowers was the appropriate way to say 'I have feelings about you.'
