I Love Thee 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: 'I / Love Thee. / It is the verdict of my / eyes, amid the gay and / young, - I love thee, I love / thee, a thousand maids among / The very echo of my heart, / the blessing when I pray - / I love thee, I love thee, / 'tis all that I can say'. Flower scraps are affixed at upper and lower centre. P.14417-R-27 is almost identical, but employs a different scrap and different verse. A wad of yellow tissue paper is visible through the lace-paper. Mounted with other similar sachet valentines in album P.14417-R. See P.14417-R-27, P.14417-R-31 and P.14417-R-32.
