Pasted at the centre is a cut-paper, hand-coloured lithograph of a blue urn with scroll handles containing a bouquet of lily of the valley, pink roses, campanula and fuschia. Gilt embossed paper ornaments are applied to either side of the urn at lower centre. A hand-written verse (presumably added by the sender) at upper centre: 'I've here the ring - oh! then lets [sic] haste / and taste the joys of wedded life / I trust the happy day's arrived / On which I call thee dearest, Wife'. 'MANSELL' stamped at lower left. A hand-written graphite inscription on the album leaf below: 'Mansell'. This is the same hand that is seen on the leaves of various albums throughout the collection. The hand has been identified as belonging to Miss Catherine Parsons who was a close friend of Glaisher towards the end of his life and undertook to arrange and mount his valentine collection into albums from the Autumn of 1924 through to the Summer of the following year and beyond.
