Cupid peeks through a window toward a young woman, a pairing that sets this card apart from the many Valentine's Day images on the board that show him alone with his bow. The scene draws on a long tradition in which Cupid, the Roman god of desire, is shown as a playful messenger of romance, often shooting arrows or stealing a glance at lovers. Printed cards of this kind became popular in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when mass-produced greetings made it easy to send sentimental messages on February 14. Notice how the window frame creates a sense of intimacy, as if the viewer is sharing a secret moment.
