Valentine card
Publisher: Kershaw, George
White embossed lace-paper with gilt detail and pink slip paper featuring a scene with scrolls and putti who flank a tablet containing Cupid's bow and arrow at lower centre whilst an enthroned Cupid sits inside a scallop shell at upper centre. Cupid is partially obscured by an affixed paper scroll with lithographed detail in gold ink and motto in red ink: 'Emblems of Love to thee I send'. An oval window at the centre contains a rice-paper blind which is lithographed with a heraldic design in gold, black, green and purple inks and mounted with a white, embossed paper ornament of a ewer resting on a garlanded plinth. A chromolithographed scrap of pink rose and blue flowers has been trimmed and affixed at lower centre. 'KERSHAW' is stamped along the spine at lower left. The front paper is adhered to the back.
