Cupid and a heart take center stage on this valentine, a design that belongs to the Victorian and Edwardian fashion for printed greeting cards that were sent between sweethearts, friends and relatives. Cards of this kind were often die-cut or lithographed in bright color, with sentimental verses tucked inside or printed beneath the scene. Valentine's Day had become a popular occasion for exchanging such cards by the late 1800s, when improvements in color printing made them cheap enough to buy by the dozen. The winged figure of Cupid, the Roman god of love, was a familiar emblem of romantic affection on cards like this one.
