Description
A two-sided card Valentine with no handwritten inscription. It appears to have been made in the late 19th or early 20th century, based on its artistic style and a silk fringe around the border. One side depicts stylized plum blossoms and a dove holding an envelope with the words "St VAlentine's Day" and "With My Love." The other side features realistic lilies and a short poem by "E.S.F." Connection to Old Town, Maine unclear.
