Two cupids share the foreground of this card, one holding a bow and the other offering a bouquet of roses, a pairing that gives the sentiment a playful, paired-up feel. Cupid, the Roman god of desire, became a standard figure on Valentine's cards in the nineteenth century, when printers in Britain and America began producing mass-made greeting cards with lace, embossing and color lithography. Cards like this one were often exchanged discreetly, slipped into a letter or left on a doorstep, so the small, decorative design was meant to carry a private message as much as a picture.
