Cupid, the winged boy of Roman myth, is the figure at the center of this piece, shown as he delivers his love-struck message. Valentine's Day imagery built around Cupid grew popular in the 19th century, when printed cards and lithographs turned the old god of desire into a stock symbol of romance. Artists of the period often drew him with a bow, arrows and a bit of mischief, a reminder that love could strike without warning. Look closely at the envelope or scroll he carries, since that small detail usually carried the sentiment the whole picture was meant to convey.
