Printed Ephemera — 1845-1860
Card, valentine card
Valentine's greeting in the form of a pair of white paper gloves, one having a satin ribbon printed with the verse 'Vows are but words, and words but breath, The wily sage hath said; But true love's vows are more than that, The're promises in heaven made'. The gloves are contained within a pink envelope with four unsealed flaps with handwritten markings '1/2 78', probably manufacturer's or retailer's stock code and price.
