Description

Silver and white lace-paper applied on paper springs to a front of white lace-paper. The springs are now stuck down. The frame is decorated at the four corners with pink and white silk flowers and green, cut-paper leaves. The central oval window of the frame is edged with real lace and surrounds a second frame of silver and white embossed paper which is pasted onto the front paper and which contains a glazed chromolithograph of a winged Cupid, wrapped loosely with pink drapery, ready to fire his arrow out at the spectator. A small paper scroll with lithographed detail is printed with a motto in blue ink: 'Accept the Gift / For the Giver's Sake'. The white lace front paper has been torn or cut from the back paper as is evident from the uneven left-hand edge.
