To My Valentine
Object Details
- Description (Brief)
- Elaborate folding valentine featuring die-cut automobile of about 1900 set against a gilded architectural framework resting on a blue, cloud-like scalloped ground. "To My Valentine" and "Printed in Germany" are printed on the verso of the bottom fold. The valentine was given by David E. Ream to Marion A. Hartman (Ream) early in their lives together. They were married in 1915. The valentine was displayed in their Pennsylvania home every February, a tradition continued by their granddaughter Pat Compher who donated the card in 2013.
