Description

3-layer valentine. Base layer gold and white; middle layer pink and yellow flowers on light blue background; front layer tan with muli-color floral bouquet glued on with roses and violets. Inside: image of church in countryside with "O Tell me how to woo thee love, He sang and wandered by; 'My queen thou art, O dearest heart, No other love have I.' She softly laughed, he turned his head, She wispered soft and low: 'If so you love me,' sweetheart said, 'Why don't you tell me so?'" On back, "Edna Crockett." Gilcrease Journal Vol. XX no. 2 Fall 2013 pg 19 notes it to be in the style of the George Whitney Company, although no marking indicates this.
