A romantic, interactive gift book with facsimiles of real letters and quotations from five centuries of real-life love letters. These are arranged thematically tracing the natural history of romantic love from the first Revelation to full-fired Passion, with Adoration, Propositions, Hesitation and Supplication along the way, followed by Possession, Celebration, Felicitations and Domestication. The experience of opening a real love letter for the first time is recreated - envelopes and packets contain facsimiles of real love letters from eloquent lovers. Textured papers, Victorian paintings, lithographs and line drawings complement the design.
