Cupid's Culinary Delights: A Comic Valentine's Day Recipe from the 1890s Step back in time with this charming and humorous Valentine card from the late Victorian era. Dating back to the 1890s, this beautifully embossed card features a delightful illustration of Cupid, the god of love, donning an apron and wielding a basting brush instead of his traditional bow and arrow. The mischievous cherub is surrounded by the flames of love, adding a playful touch to the romantic theme. The card's border is adorned with intricate white edging, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the design. But what makes this card truly special is the comic strip at the bottom, offering "Good Advice for Lovers" on how to "Cook a Heart." The comic strip shows Cupid in the kitchen, carefully preparing a heart-shaped dish, while offering tips on "basting" and "cooking to a turn." The humor and whimsy of the illustrations are sure to bring a smile to the face of your loved one. This unique and intriguing Valentine card is a testament to the enduring power of love and the importance of sharing a good meal with those we care about. Whether you're looking to add a touch of vintage charm to your Valentine's Day celebrations or simply want to bring a smile to someone's face, this Cupid card is sure to be a hit.
