To Miss Judith George, Delightful c. 1830s Handmade Valentine with Webbed Paper Ring

Regular price $50.00

A lovely early one, given to a Miss Judith George, c. 1830s.  Hand-colored engraved couple at center, cradled in a basket, with watercolored roses pasted down to either side and a die-cut "love forever" above. Encircled in blue paper frame, which pulls up in cobweb fashion. And hand-written verse on reverse: Peace be around thee. 

 8" x 6 3/16". Good antique condition, with fold lines original to it, as it folded like a envelope in order to be delivered.
