Hope Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
White wove paper with an embossed border, overlaid on paper springs with cameo-embossed white paper with silver detailing and a design featuring roses, leaves and a winged Cupid holding an arrow at upper centre. A circular window at the centre contains an embossed chromolithographed wreath of forget-me-nots trimmed around the outside with white gauze leaves. The wreath is mounted on paper springs to a sheet of white wove paper which is printed with a letter-press verse: 'HOPE / There is a smile for / every sigh, / For every wound a balm; / A joy for every moistened eye, / For every storm a calm. ...'. The interior is blank. A hand-written inscription on the album leaf at lower right: '3 /= [3 shillings]'. This either relates to inscriptions found on the verso prior to mounting or is transcribed from a list of valentines bought by Glaisher from a dealer, like that sent to Glaisher by second-hand book dealer, R.S. Frampton (See P.14416-R-L1).
