Valentine card
Publisher: Meek, George
A pink, embossed front of lace-paper with a design of sea-shells and coral around a central oval panel which is mounted with a chromolithograph of a chinese barge on a river, a pagoda on the right. A circular gilt lace-paper frame surrounds the central area of the lithograph. Mounted on paper springs at the centre (now stuck down) is a larger frame of cameo-embossed lace-paper with gilt detail and a design of flowers and Cupid (left) and probably Hymen (right). A glazed and embossed chromolithographed flower scrap is affixed at upper centre and at lower centre is a lithographed paper scroll with a motto printed in blue ink: 'Friendship's offering'. 'MEEK' is stamped along the spine. The front is without a back paper and is mounted directly onto the album leaf.
