A cherub with a bow and a bundle of hearts anchors this card, which is titled "With Love's Greeting" and sits in the gallery's Cupid group under Valentine's Day. Cupid, the winged figure from Roman myth who shot arrows that stirred desire, became a standard emblem on valentines by the 19th century, when printers began producing cards in quantity and sending them through the mail. Cards like this one were often chosen for their sentiment as much as their artwork, letting a sender say what was hard to put into words. The small motifs of hearts and arrows are worth a close look, since they show how the visual language of romance was settled in this period.
