Delmer Morris' Valentine with Portrait for Opal Wright sampler book It appears to be held

It appears to be held together largely or entirely by was of tiny nails

I know they were found at an estate in South Carolina

in the original box

an Indigenous people who live along the Ucayali River in the Amazon rainforest in Peru

with the color on the old painted surfaces now feeling soft and almost ethereal

Delmer Morris' Valentine with Portrait for Opal Wright sampler book It appears to be heldYes, Valentine's Day is a ways off, but for me it's always the right time for a Valentine like this, sent from a Delmer Morris to a Miss Opal Wright I'd guess about 120 years ago. I really really love his large red heart with arrow through it, and the careful writing of VALENTINE, with an inexplicable space between the N snd E before his initials. And on the back that he felt it important to indicate that the photo was in fact "my picture"! 5 7 16" x
