EDITORS COMMENTS
Cupid, the mischievous god of love, is depicted in this charming late Victorian Valentine card from the 1890s. With a twinkle in his eye and a quizzical expression, he holds a book entitled "Good Advice" in one hand, while the other hand is poised to nock an arrow. The comic illustration on the card adds a playful touch to the romantic theme. The image of Cupid with a book is a symbol of his repentance, as he seeks to mend the hearts he has broken in the past. The single word "Don't!" inscribed inside the book serves as a reminder of the importance of wisdom and caution in matters of the heart. The intricate white embossed edging and border of the card add to its elegant and timeless appeal. The lovebirds and kissing cupids adorning the design further emphasize the romantic sentiment of the occasion. This charming Valentine card is a testament to the enduring power of love and the importance of good advice in navigating the complexities of romantic relationships. Whether given to a loved one or kept as a cherished keepsake, it serves as a reminder that even the god of love himself can learn from the lessons of the past.
