Description

Antique Valentine: 1 of 7 from Adolph Selige. Elegant art nouveau. A man at his leisure, smoking in his smoking jacket, seated in a mission chair, book and martini next to him and dreaming of a special cottage. Verse: "A little health, a little wealth, / A little house and freedom, / With some few friends for certain ends, / But little cause to need 'em." Card is unposted and in excellent condition.
