Valentine card
Printmaker: Mansell, Joseph
A valentine front-paper of white lace-paper (remnants of a darker-coloured paper at the corners indicates that it was previously mounted elsewhere). A heart-shaped aperture at upper centre with scalloped edge and hand-drawn 'frame' of green ink. The aperture has a blind of gauze onto which is a silver paper ornament of two doves with a flower garland and arrow. A hand-written motto at upper centre: 'Love' and centre: 'My heart is true to Thee'. A collage of fabric and cut-paper and hand-coloured flowers (convolvulus) at lower centre. 'MANSELL' is blind-stamped at lower centre.
