Original 1845 Antique Folk Art Valentine . . .

Click to enlarge. I really can't make out the exact sentiment on this original Valentine glued in a memory book/lesson book from my collection. The lady's name was Pink. That name is inscribed on the tiny envelope in the man's hand. I just love the folky watercolor of the gentleman. This document was folded to fit in quite a small envelope 2" x 3-1/2". I wonder if it was presented in person as the watercolor depicts or if it was mailed?

Happy Valentine's Day.

Vintage early 20th century Valentines . . .

All of these Valentine cards are from one woman's collection (not mine). Each has a juvenile appearance but they don't seem to be intended for children...or were they? We'll never know. A couple are mean spirited too. They date from the first half of the 20th century. Enjoy this trip down memory lane! Don't eat too much candy tomorrow.
