Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
Loose inside album P.14412-R inside the back fly-leaf. Die-cut, hand-coloured lithograph of abundant flower-garland frame (pink roses, violets, forget-me-nots, lilac, tulips, passion flower etc.) surrounding a central scene of five Cupids playing with bows and arrows and shields atop a plinth hung with two gilded bird cages and bowl of goldfish flanked by bows and quiver of arrows. A white dove carrying an olive branch hovers in the sky above. A blank scroll at lower centre, presumably intended for hand-written dedication by sender. The lithograph is mounted on a large, 4to-size sheet of cream wove paper.
