[Late 19th Century].
Price: $2,000.00
Unbound. A collection of 30 ornate late 19th and early 20th Century Valentine's cards. All in near fine condition. Some are simple decorated postcard format, others are die-cuts, and still others consist of several folding panels elaborately adorned with lace, hearts, filigreed paper, artificial flowers, and delicate silver gilt and gold highlights. Additionally many of the cards involve moving parts, most still functioning. Many consist of a verse or vignette picture surrounded by a bewildering variety of decorative gewgaws and folderols. A beautiful collection in superb condition, obviously painstakingly compiled.
