Valentine Letters from 1818

This is the way that love letters were written and folded for delivery in 1818. These examples are by graphic designer, Amy Merry, who recreated them as props for the movie, Bright Star.

Pretty fancy folding…and I love the calligraphy on it. Perhaps a lovely wedding invitation idea?
