File
Probably Romantic Period (c. 1830). Full page publisher's sample valentine card. Woodcut depicts two lovers in romantic-era clothing in the country standing near a fire, looked over by two doves. Silver lace border overlay. Text reads: "I dream'd my heart consuming lay/ On Cupid's burning shrine:/ I thought he stole thy heart away/ And placed it near to mine."
