Vintage Valentine's Day Card Golden Hair Cherub Think of Me

The card reads 'My Valentine, think of me' — a sweet romantic plea — yet visually presents a golden-haired child emerging from a spider web like romance's most unsettling trap, clutching a red heart in one hand while additional hearts dangle ominously from the web above. The figure's wide-eyed, unblinking stare paired with the tender text reads less like affection and more like a binding legal summons issued by a tiny blonde spider-deity. Victorian Valentine design was apparently operating under the working theory that the best way to express affection was to visually recreate the experience of being caught, held, and slowly consumed.
