Love letter that opens into a little art gallery

This love letter was written by Alfred Joseph Frueh, an American cartoonist, and illustrator, to his wife Giuliette Fanciulli on January 10, 1913.

When folded according to the instructions, the letter transforms into a mini model of an art gallery.

Frueh made this model to inform his wife about the details of a specific art gallery before her visit.
