EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of late Victorian romance with this charming antique Valentine card featuring the mischievous figure of Cupid. Dressed in his iconic red attire and winged ensemble, Cupid is playfully depicted in this print, holding a baking tray instead of his traditional bow and arrow. The whimsical scene is further enhanced by the intricate white embossed edge and border adorning the card. The verse on the card reads, "Cupid's Confectionery, Where Love's Delights Are Made," adding a delightful touch of humor to the romantic theme. The pull tab at the bottom of the card invites the recipient to discover the secret message hidden within. This unique design showcases the fusion of love, romance, and comedy that was popular during the Victorian era. The image of Cupid as a baker or chef is an unconventional take on the traditional representation of the god of love, adding a fresh and lighthearted twist to the Valentine's Day celebration. The intricate details of the card's design, from the delicate embossing to the elegant typography, speak to the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. This beautiful antique Valentine card is a timeless keepsake that captures the essence of love and the playful spirit of the late 1800s.
