Cupid's Playful New Year Prank: A Delightful 1890s French Postcard Step back in time to the charming and whimsical world of a French New Year postcard from the late 1890s. This enchanting image captures the mischievous side of the ancient Roman god of love, Cupid, as he delivers a surprise bouquet to unsuspecting piglets. The scene unfolds in a rustic setting, with a wickerwork basket overflowing with a riotous bunch of flowers, including roses, lilies, and carnations, nestled among the lush foliage. The lid of the basket is held in place by a ribbon, adding a touch of elegance to this playful scene. Cupid, with his iconic wings spread wide, peers over the edge of the basket, his arrow pointed and ready to shoot. The piglets, oblivious to the impending delivery, are huddled together in a cozy corner, their snouts buried in the hay. The postcard's border is adorned with holly and mistletoe, traditional New Year symbols of good fortune and prosperity. The overall effect is one of warmth, humor, and the promise of new beginnings. This delightful postcard is a testament to the enduring appeal of the playful and whimsical, and a reminder that even the most serious of figures, like Cupid, can find joy in the simple things in life, like a basket of flowers and a few curious piglets.
