Cupid Mailing A Valentine

Vintage drawing of Cupid mailing a Valentine’s Day Greeting. What could the little fellow be up to by mailing a Valentine? Could it be that he has fallen for someone or is he trying to work a bit of Valentine’s Day magic another way. With his quiver of arrows on his back and using his wings to hover, he is opening a US postal box and getting ready to drop an envelope inside. No word if his efforts paid off.

This February 10th, 1880 edition of Harper’s Young People had a number of wonderful drawings, including this one.
