EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming late Victorian Valentine postcard from the 1890s. The image features a playful scene of two mischievous Cupids, each carrying a quiver full of red hearts as they fly over a lush green landscape. The hearts they carry are not just symbols of love, but also serve as "forget me not" notes, reminding their recipients of the romantic sentiments they wish to express. The Cupids, with their cherubic features and wings spread, add a whimsical touch to the scene. The postcard's background is adorned with a delicate blue ribbon, adding a feminine touch to the design. The Cupids stand atop a pole, perhaps waiting for the perfect moment to release their hearts into the world. The use of wordplay and puns was a popular trend in Victorian Valentine cards. The hearts being both symbols of love and forget-me-not notes adds a clever twist to the traditional Valentine message. The overall design exudes a sense of romance and humor, making it a delightful find for anyone looking to add a touch of vintage charm to their collection. This beautiful postcard is a testament to the enduring power of love and the creative ways in which it has been expressed throughout history. Whether you're sending it to a loved one or keeping it for yourself, this Victorian Valentine postcard is sure to bring a smile to your face and warm your heart.
