Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
12mo-size white lace-paper (front sheet pasted to back sheet) with pink net blind at the centre through which is partially visible a hand-painted design of flowers with verse incribed above and below: "Of Flowers the fairest of the grove Accept & let them be / An Emblem of unfading love For such is mine to thee". The original hand-painted design has been largely covered by a collage of cut-paper flowers arranged within a round of lace-paper as a bouquet and affixed to the net blind. A hand-written inscription on the inside right-hand page: [...] J [?m].
