Hope Valentine card
Publisher: J.T. Wood & Co
A small gilt, lace-paper valentine (design of birds within holly branches) with a roundel of white silk at lower centre printed with a title and verse: 'HOPE. / There is a smile for / every sigh, / For every wound balm; / A joy for every moistened eye, / For every storm a calm ...'. The back paper has been removed. 'WOOD' is stamped along the spine at centre left. The valentine is contained within a lace-paper envelope with four triangular flaps which are partially pasted in a 'open' position onto the album leaf. A hand-written inscription on the album leaf at lower left, 'Wood', transcribes the maker's stamp.
