Antique Handmade Folded Paper Bookmark with Ink Drawn Bear victorian era courting Perhaps just the right giftA lot of love and care went into making this bookmark, folded and cut from card weight paper and tied with a ribbon on the back, with hand done gold edging and lettering and a curious ink drawn bear who looks quite a bit frightened and very self protective! on front. Cleverly designed to fit over the corner of a page or section of pages, making it a good one for marking the next chapter of a bedtime story. 5 1 6 x 3 1 4 and in very good condition.
