Comments: |
As can be seen, this perfumed card is comprised of four individual printed cards, each surrounded on three sides by a blue woven fringe.
The cards are held inside a paper fold over envelope with a cotton or silk thread, and with the printed STEVENS name. It would seem in the early days that Stevens did not print his name of the actual cards, as none of the above cards has either his name nor initials.
