Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
Silver lace-paper frame mounted onto a front of lace-paper with paper springs and decorated with silk flowers and green embossed paper cut-outs of sprays of greenery. Pink silk is slipped behind the lace-paper at the centre over which is an oval-shaped flap decorated with a chromolithographic cut-out of a flower bouquet. The flap lifts up with a pink silk ribbon loop to reveal a woodblock printed motto: 'Fidelity'.
