1908 Turtle Doves Valentine

1908 richly embossed vintage postcard. Two full red hearts are pierced together by Cupid's golden arrow. Carrying them to new heights are three turtle doves; one holds reigns adorned with blue forget-me-not flowers. Two turtle doves lead the way, carrying rose hips in their beaks.

Symbolism ...
Two hearts: Two lovers
Cupid's Arrow: Cupid is the Roman god of erotic love. When one is struck by the arrow, he or she immediately falls in love. Turtle doves: In Greek mythology, turtle doves are considered sacred to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty.

Forget-me-not flowers: Forget-me-nots represent true love. Rose hips: In Ancient mythology, the Rose is a powerful symbol of love and adoration. It is strongly associated with Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of beauty and love, who is often portrayed with a crown of roses around her head. This would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
