Description

Silver lace-paper mounted onto a wove paper backing with a pink printed edge. The lace-paper is mounted as a frame on paper springs and is decorated with glazed, chromolithographed cut-outs on embossed paper of a wreath of forget-me-nots (bottom centre) and narcissi with the motto: "Ever Yours" (upper centre). At the centre of the lace-paper frame is a chromolithograph of a boy in red breeches carrying a large fish under his arm, a flower posy and a lobster in a basket.
