Victorian Cupid Valentine Card with Pink Roses and Hearts

Cupid seems convinced that Valentine's Day requires not just wings and a golden ribbon, but also a full chair—because nothing says 'I love you' like a cherub who cannot be bothered to hover. He's framed by an arch of roses so aggressively pink they constitute a threat, while below him two large red hearts sit side-by-side wearing matching baby-blue bows, like twins dressed by a mother with a controlling personality. The hearts bear faint decorative stitching, suggesting they are both romantic and upholstered, which raises more questions than this card was designed to answer. 'To my Valentine' sits at the bottom in elegant script, bravely pretending the whole composition isn't a little unhinged.
