Delmer Morris' Valentine with Portrait for Opal Wright

Regular price $25.00

Yes, Valentine's Day is a ways off, but for me it's always the right time for a Valentine like this, sent from a Delmer Morris to a Miss Opal Wright I'd guess about 120 years ago. I really really love his large red heart with arrow through it, and the careful writing of VALENTINE, with an inexplicable space between the N snd E before his initials. And on the back that he felt it important to indicate that the photo was in fact "my picture"!

5 7/16" x 3 7/16". The photo is a bit faint, which makes it all the more tender to me, and there is an old crease running along the bottom edge.
