This beautiful lace-paper valentine has the central medallion made of very fine net with a large embossed scrap pasted to it. The bouquet comprises of roses, forget-me-nots and fuschias. Small scraps decorate the corners.

“The love of the beautiful and graceful as well as the practice of courtesy - and even of due gallantry between the smallest boys and girls - may be encouraged by their interchange of valentines”.
