Here a plump cherub balances a basket of roses on one arm, a sentimental motif that found its way onto greeting cards in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Cards like this one, marked "Loving Greeting," were typically small chromolithographed or embossed pieces meant to be tucked into letters or given at birthdays, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. Angels and cherubs were popular on such cards because they carried an easy blend of innocence and devotion, letting a sender express affection without overt sentiment. Look closely at the roses, which the printers often rendered in soft, layered color to suggest the warmth of a heartfelt message.
