Charming Little Pair of Pennsylvania Cut Paper Valentines hi merit badge Folded in half and then

Folded in half and then half again

including how the trees and leafy branches and smoke from the chimney all lean in the same direction

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

of peasant and peasant atmospheres relived with ingenuity and sincere passion

Charming Little Pair of Pennsylvania Cut Paper Valentines hi merit badge Folded in half and thenJust 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.
