A Token Of Love Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
A small sachet valentine of white lace-paper with shaped edges tinted blue and a central roundel backed with white paper printed with a title and verse: 'A Token of Love / Friendship's sweet and / dear to me. / But true-love is sweeter still, / And I fain would show to thee, / How thy love my heart doth / fill. / Then let this token to my / dear one prove / The depth of my / unchanging love'. Flower scraps are affixed at upper and lower centre. P.14417-R-28 is almost identical, but employs a different scrap and different verse. Mounted with other similar sachet valentines in album P.14417-R. See P.14417-R-28, P.14417-R-31 and P.14417-R-32.
