Description

Silver and white lace-paper referencing ecclesiastical architecture featuring an archway with tracery and lattice-work. A panel of white silk is pasted inside the archway and is mounted with a pink and silver embossed paper ornament of Venus and Cupid riding in a shell boat, the reins held by Venus. Collaged elements of chromolithographed flowers and cut-paper leaves are affixed at lower left and right. A motto is lithographed in gold ink around a circular embossed medallion with silver detail at lower centre: 'Accept this humble Tribute of Love'. The front paper is adhered to the back.
