Valentine card
Publisher: Windsor & Sons
Embossed, silver lace-paper with a grapevine design and bunches of grapes. Mounted at the centre is a second, smaller layer of cameo-embossed silver lace-paper of a design featuring flower and fruit growing around a trellis arch and a church. An oval-shaped window is backed with rice-paper stencilled with a design of a basket of flowers hanging from a blue ribbon. A collage of cut-paper leaves and hand-coloured flowers is arranged in an upward arch at lower centre. 'WINDSOR' is stamped at lower centre (visible from the verso). The interior is blank.
