Step back in time with this enchanting Victorian Valentine card featuring the mythological figure of Cupid in his iconic chariot. Dating back to the 1890s, this beautifully preserved card is adorned with an intricately embossed white border, adding an elegant and timeless touch. The chariot, pulled by two birds, possibly doves or cupids, is surrounded by a lush array of red roses, pink roses, and forget-me-nots, symbolizing love, passion, and remembrance.
