Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
Silver and white embossed lace-paper overlaid on paper springs (now all stuck down) to a front of white lace-paper. Four 'cobweb' devices at upper left and right and lower left and right (all damaged) which, when lifted with the cotton threads, reveal chromolithographs of Cupid and putti positioned on clouds, Cupid (at upper left) with his quiver of arrows. A collage of green cut-paper leaves and hand-coloured flowers with a white and gilt embossed paper ornament of a fountain is mounted onto the central panel of the front paper and displayed through the shaped, central window of the silver and white lace-paper. A small scroll of pink paper with lithographed detail and motto in gold ink is affixed at lower centre: 'May / Happiness be ever Thine'. The front paper is adhered to the back paper.
