Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
A front of white lace-paper which is mounted with a 'frame' of gilt, embossed lace-paper with a design featuring a classically draped couple below an archway backed with pale blue paper, a church (with pink hand-colouring) behind them and Cupid hovering above. The gilt lace-paper is mounted on paper springs which would have originally lifted upwards, but these are now stuck down. Collage elements of green cut-paper leaves, pink fabric flower stems and silver lace-paper leaves are affixed at upper and lower centre. There is hand colouring of embossed flowers at centre left and right and lower centre. A motto within a gilt-edged shield is affixed at lower centre: 'A Tribute / for my best / Beloved'. The lace-paper front is adhered to the back paper.
