Description
Two cherubic cupids engage in a playful scene of love and romance within this enchanting Victorian Valentine. One angel wielding a butterfly net attempts to capture the smaller hearts floating in the air, while the other draws a bow aimed at the enormous central heart. The lush green striped background with warm gold tones creates an idyllic garden setting, enhanced by delicate hand-applied chromolithographic printing. The composition celebrates the whimsy and sentiment of Victorian-era Valentine traditions, where cherubs symbolized divine love and romantic devotion.
