Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
Valentine components mounted onto an album leaf. An album leaf of pale green wove paper, with a central embossed border of a design of flowers and leaves containing an embossed hand-coloured pink paper rose. Two verses written in blue ink on white wove paper have been cut into pieces and arranged onto the album leaf. The first at upper and lower centre and the second in curving lines around the central image: 'Love prompts these verses from my hand. / Love prompts them from my heart. / And may love teach you to imbibe, / Of them at least some part.'; 'Thou hast my heart alone posses't. None love I more than thee, / There is no part within my breast, that is not true to thee.'. A silver paper dove is affixed at upper centre.
