EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of love and romance with this beautiful late Victorian Valentine postcard from the 1890s. The image features a playful Cupid, the god of love, and a mischievous fairy, both surrounded by an abundance of red hearts growing on a tree. The hearts, symbolizing love and affection, cascade down from the branches, as if ready to be plucked and shared between two smitten souls. Cupid, the cherubic figure with wings and a quiver full of arrows, is known for his power to ignite love in the hearts of mortals. Here, he is shown in a lighthearted moment, shaking a heart-laden branch, as if to shower those below with the essence of love. The fairy, with her delicate wings and ethereal appearance, adds an air of magic and mystery to the scene. She gracefully catches a heart in her outstretched hand, her eyes filled with the joy and wonder of love. The lush green grass and blue forget-me-not flowers at their feet create a serene and idyllic setting, further emphasizing the romantic and dreamlike atmosphere. This postcard is a testament to the enduring power of love and the belief that even the angels in heaven might tell of its beauty. This exquisite postcard, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a treasure from the past that continues to inspire and delight us with its timeless message of love and romance.
