A charming paper doll valentine – a 10 ¾” die-cut chromolithograph scrap torso of a young lady holding a song sheet. Her skirt is constructed of cardboard covered with crepe paper. It is designed to clasp in the back creating both a skirt and a stand.
The verse reads “Your voice is music to my ear, My heart-beats mark the time; Life is a song when you are near, My darling Valentine” c1880s. Scratch on neck; otherwise fine.
