Cupid was the god of love in Roman mythology (son of Venus and Mercury). In Greek mythology he was Eros, (son of Aphrodite and Hermes). Cupid is depicted as winged child or baby who carried a bow and quiver full of arrows tipped with a love potion that would produce the right "chemistry" - that attraction and reaction which causes "Love at First Sight".

The Victorian Age brought out some of the best in human Purity and Virtue. Love was distinguished from lust, Love is an unexplainable "spiritual affinity"...a meeting of two souls on a divine level. An Instant attraction, a quickly-developing deep friendship, romance and desire. Only True Love has it all!

The Victorian Cupid was a personification of True Love in the heart and soul. Victorian Cupids have a simple purity, a divined unity of man, nature and God in peace, harmony, Joy and Happiness.

The Victorian Cupid has become the symbol of True Love in art and Valentine cards to represent True Love in the heart and Soul.
