Description

White embossed lace-paper front with smaller silver and white embossed lace-paper panel, of a design with tasselled curtains, flower garlands and a church, affixed at the centre. The panel is mounted on paper springs which are now stuck down. A panel of beige, textured paper is affixed behind the silver and white embossed panel and mounted with a gilt, oval frame containing a glazed chromolithograph of a pink rose. Embossed flowers around the frame are hand coloured. Below is a collage of green fabric leaves and a gilt-framed lozenge containing white paper with a verse lithographed in blue ink at the centre: 'Oh may thy heart / In love's full joy, / The passing hours / Of life's employ'. The front is without a back paper and is pasted directly onto the album leaf.
