Valentine card
Publisher: Windsor & Sons
Gilded cameo-embossed paper top layer with a scene of courting couples and central circular window, affixed with a printed motto at lower centre: 'Tenderly Thine'. The paper is attached with paper springs to a larger second layer of plain wove paper with an embossed border. The second layer is mounted with an embossed scrap of a half-length, dark-haired woman wearing a yellow dress and holding a red rose that is viewed through the central window. 'WINDSOR' is stamped at lower left of the gilded top layer. The back paper is missing.
