Think of Me, Small 19th Century Theorem Watercolor Love Token with Hand-stamped Sentiment towe and she feels very muchIn my book, it's always time for a love token, and now of course it is nearly valentine season. This is the third of a group of three small 19th century theorem ink and watercolors I found last summer in Pennsylvania, all done by the same person, each with a different hand stamped sentiment. (Theorem watercolors like this were made using hand cut stencils, with the paint, I recently learned, often blown onto the paper via a glass tube, like a straw.)
