Charming Little Pair of Pennsylvania Cut Paper Valentines hi merit badge and just love the combination

and just love the combination of intricacy and graphicness to all of these hand-drawn patterns

of peasant and peasant atmospheres relived with ingenuity and sincere passion

operates perfectly

I don't come across many of them though

with graphite visible under the ink--as all that detail needed some careful sketching first

Charming Little Pair of Pennsylvania Cut Paper Valentines hi merit badge and just love the combinationJust a pair of little handmade valentines, which, between those fancy scalloped edges and crayoned hearts, I find hugely satisfying. There is writing in graphite inside, a little hard to read against the green, but one was definitely addressed to Grandma. There is a bit of a sheen to the green paper. 3 1 8" x 3 ea, closed. Good condition, early 20th c. I believe.
