EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this enchanting late Victorian Valentine postcard, featuring the timeless symbol of love and desire, Cupid. Dressed in his iconic attire, the winged god of desire is depicted releasing a white dove from his hand, symbolizing the pure and enduring nature of love. The dove carries a heart-shaped envelope in its beak, representing the delivery of love letters, a tradition that was deeply rooted in the Victorian era. Surrounding Cupid is a beautiful arrangement of white and mauve flowers, forming a heart shape. The delicate daisies and violets add a touch of romance and sweetness to the scene. In the background, an anvil and hammer at a forge are subtly hinted at, symbolizing the idea of love as a powerful force that can shape and transform the heart. The red and heart-shaped motifs further emphasize the theme of love and passion. The intricate design and detailed illustration of this postcard make it a beautiful keepsake, perfect for expressing heartfelt sentiments to a loved one on this special day dedicated to love and romance. This image, from The David Pearson Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us to a bygone era and reminds us of the enduring power of love.
