EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting late Victorian Valentine card features a whimsical image of Cupid, the Roman god of love, riding in a charming car adorned with an abundance of pink roses. The year is circa 1890s, an era of romantic innovation and discovery, as the automobile was a new and exciting mode of transportation. The playful Cupid, with his iconic wings and bow and arrow, seems to be enjoying the ride, perhaps on a quest to spread love and affection. The card's verse reads, "Avec tout mon coeur, je t'aime," which translates to "With all my heart, I love you," adding to the romantic sentiment. The French influence is evident in the elegant design and language, making this a truly special Valentine's Day expression of love. The intricate details of the car, the roses, and Cupid's expression all contribute to the timeless charm of this romantic collectible.
