Valentine card
Publisher: Sulman, Benjamin
16mo-size embossed cream paper mounted with a smaller panel of silver lace-paper with a central oval window, affixed with four paper springs. A large novelty woven basket filled with white cotton flowers with yellow stamens and white feathers mounted on a blue silk diamond-shaped cushion with blue silk finging hangs across the central window from a blue silk ribbon which is tied in a bow at upper centre. An oval-shaped panel of white wove paper with a lace-paper border is affixed to the verso of the blue silk cushion where a maker's mark is stamped at lower centre: 'B. SULMAN'. A small scrap of a pansy with printed motto is affixed to the silver lace paper at lower centre: 'Think you / of me / today'. The interior is blank.
