Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
Embossed lace-paper with blue slip paper behind, mounted with a rectangle of silver embossed die-cut paper edged with real lace, pink tissue slip paper behind, and decorated with an embossed chromolithograph of flowers in an urn. The silver embossed paper panel lifts up to reveal a full-length figure of a woman holding a fan on silvered embossed paper mounted on paper springs. Above her is a chromolithographed scrap with the motto: OH THINK OF ME / WHEN THIS YOU SEE / AND I SHALL HAPPY BE. The inside pages are blank.
