A 3 5/8”x 5 5/8” top fold valentine with lace paper cover with center cartouche removed.  Applied caption at base reads “To my Valentine”.  Opening reveals an applied watercolor on inside page depicting a warrior in a chariot driving a team of horses, perhaps across the clouds.  Water color garlands on margins.  The valentine appears to be someone’s creation from a larger valentine that was modified to meet their needs.  The back is inscribed 1851, which appears appropriate.  Charming little hand made innovation.
