Cupids and roses fill this card, a motif that Valentine's Day makers leaned on heavily in the decades when mass-printed greetings were becoming a common way to express affection. The phrase "To My Valentine" was a stock sentiment, so the card's message would have been nearly universal, and that is part of its charm. Cupid, the winged god of love, appeared on Valentines from the Victorian era onward, often paired with flowers because roses signaled romance in the language of the day. Look closely at the printing and paper to date the card more precisely, since color lithography and embossed details changed over time.
