Victorian Valentine's Day Cherub Bicycle/Scooter Greeting Card

A plump winged infant in a diaper straddles an impossibly tiny decorative bicycle, pedaling furiously through a landscape while draped in forget-me-nots—and this is apparently the Gilded Age's preferred method of romantic delivery. Cupid's therapist must have suggested 'communicate more directly,' because the enormous red heart looming behind him like a sentient corporate logo bears a golden banner reading 'To My Valentine' with the subtlety of a billboard. A distant mountain landscape and gilded border frame this unhinged tableau with the reassuring politeness of a doily, as if the ornate trim will make you forget that a half-naked baby on a bicycle is your only hope for love.
