Truly thine [sic]
A small valentine of white lace-paper, a second layer overlaid on paper springs of gilded and embossed lace-paper. The paper design showing a scene at upper centre of a Cupid beside a beehive with a pair of birds of paradise below and a figure playing a lyre in a roundel at lower centre. A cut-paper, chromolithographed motto: 'TRULY / THINE' with cornucopia of fruits affixed at upper centre. A collage (some losses) at lower centre of cut-paper leaves and cloth flower. Opens to handwritten inscription in pen and ink: 'Pene / 1863'. See also no. 51, which is apparently from or to the same sender, 'Pene' (possibly an abbreviation of 'Penelope') and dated the following year.
