Valentine card
Publisher: Mansell, Joseph
White embossed lace-paper of a design of grapes, strawberries and other fruits and a central oval panel mounted with a 'frame' of blue, embossed lace-paper of a design of trees and roses. The 'frame' is mounted on paper springs (now stuck down) and surrounds a chromolithographed bouquet of pink roses and blue cornflowers inside an urn of gold metallic paper. The flowers are also mounted on a paper spring which is now stuck down. A pair of chromolithographed, die-cut birds are mounted on the white embossed lace-paper at upper centre. A lithographed verse in blue ink is printed on a silver framed lozenge at lower centre: 'The charms of nature / sweet and free / Dearer are they / When shared with thee'. 'MANSELL' is stamped (just seen) on the central oval panel at lower centre. The front paper is adhered to the back.
