Rare Circa 1880 J. Valentine Blue Steel Engraving for Intended 'Peace' Envelope

On the illustration’s right is depicted the joys of Peace, a harvest festival in the foreground, the village church, a windmill on the hill, a factory chimney smoking in the distance. In the centre is the rising sun, beneath which floats a Dove; and across, below the whole runs a scroll, inscribed, under the left, “THE PAST,” and under the right “THE FUTURE”.
