Cupid is shown here holding a top hat, a playful detail that sets this card apart from the bow-and-arrow scenes that dominate the Valentine's Day series. The woman beside him wears a fur collar, a fashion of the late Victorian and Edwardian years when fur trim signaled comfort and refinement. Valentines of this era were often mass-produced color lithographs, sold in stationers' shops and exchanged by mail or by hand, and their humor frequently borrowed from the manners and styles of the day. The pairing of a mythological figure with a stylish gentleman's hat suggests a card meant to tease its recipient with a light, modern touch.
