A First Valentine

Black and white drawing of a shy little boy receiving his first Valentine. Two little girls, dressed in ruffles and bows, present a little boy with a heart on a string in this charming Valentine’s Day holiday image. It is from Harper’s Young People. The February 17, 1880 edition, like all of them from this period, did not identify their illustrators.
