Cupid rolls a wheelbarrow heaped with roses and other blooms across the front of this valentine, a playful twist on the usual winged archer. The gardening joke suits the card's sentiment: love is something tended and cultivated, not merely shot from a bow. Valentines like this one became popular in the late 1800s, when mass-produced printing and cheap postage made sending a folded card to a sweetheart or friend an affordable custom. Cards often mixed sentiment with humor, and this pairing of Cupid and a working tool is typical of the lighter, more whimsical designs that circulated then.
