Victorian Cherub Cupids Valentine Card - Love's Ball Heart Design

Imagine two diaper-clad cherubs — one in pink, one in blue — recruited for what can only be described as a heart-balloon relay race conducted with the urgency of a Renaissance emergency, wading through a field of purple pansies like tiny winged athletes. The cherub on the left appears to be releasing a red heart into the air while the one on the right reaches out to receive it, both of them apparently unaware that this constitutes the world's most elaborate postal service. The cursive text 'This Ball of Love is from an Angel / And will continue / till it strikes a heart' reframes romantic love as a projectile weapon, which, honestly, is the most accurate Valentine's Day sentiment ever printed. Mountains loom in the background, presumably witnesses to this airborne cardiac transaction.
