White lace-paper valentine with a central oval panel hand-painted with a posy of flowers (pink and white roses and forget-me-nots). A motto is handwritten in blue ink at lower centre: 'Faithfully yours'. The front paper is adhered to the back paper and the card has been trimmed on all sides. Four silver paper ornaments are affixed at the corners and an embossed scrap of flowers with the motto, 'LOVE' in white is affixed below the oval panel at lower centre.
