The Golden Hours of Youth Are Slipping Away, Early 19th C. Ink and Watercolor Love Token by Sarah A. Stearns old spring load target it appears the last threeI purchased this one at the Boston Antiquarian Book Fair from a wonderful dealer sharing my love of early paper; clearly it shows a bit of loss along the bottom, but I just could not resist that marvelous little ink and watercolor basket of flowers with larger blooms springing up from either side the embodiment of Youth, indeed, even while we are reminded that "the golden hours are sliding fast away"!
