Constancy Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
A miniature valentine on a small rectangle of cream card with gilt detail. An oval panel at the centre with printed verse: 'Constancy / Oh yes I will remember thee / Nor ever once forget / Thy form so fondly loved by me / The bliss when last we met / The world and all its brightest charms / I have no wish to see / For safe within thy faithful arms / Whats all the world to me / my heart is void of all deceit / Tis thou are worshipped here / And long as memory holds her seat / To me thou wilt be dear.'. The small card is contained within an envelope of blue paper with mock fastening flap and loop and gilt detail and the whole contained within another envelope of the same design but of lithographed tartan design in yellow and brown inks.
