A woman, a winged cupid, and a bundle of roses make up the scene on this Valentine card, which places the familiar romantic figure of the god of love in a sentimental setting. Cards like this grew popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when printers produced mass-made greetings that let senders express affection without writing much themselves. Cupid, the Roman god whose arrows were said to stir desire, appears often on these designs as a playful go-between. Notice how the flowers and figures work together to suggest courtship in a few simple images.
