Cupid and Psyche
From my collection of diecut Victorian Valentines. The little violet shown symbolized modesty and humility during the era, but the story of Cupid and Psyche, rife with lust and sex, seems hardly apt...unless Victorians just wanted to rewrite history to suit their own warped sense of values...
