Cupid takes center stage on this die-cut valentine, with his bow raised above a scatter of hearts and clusters of forget-me-nots. The die-cut edges, which follow the outline of each motif rather than sitting on a plain rectangle, were a popular feature of late nineteenth-century greeting cards, when printers used steel cutting blades to produce lacy, shaped sheets. Cards like this were often exchanged in person or tucked into letters, and the small blue flowers were a sentimental emblem of remembrance and enduring affection.
