Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
White cameo-embossed paper with shaped edges and lilac ground to embossed designs. An embossed chromolithograph of the head and shoulders of a young woman with brown hair and purple sleeves, a long skirt of white striped and spotted textile applied below with tissue paper interior. A heart-shaped scrap with silvered frame and motto printed in lilac ink: ACCEPT THIS / LOVING HEART / OF / MINE. The inside pages are blank. Hand-written inscription in graphite on the album leaf: '3 /='. Presumably relates to an inscription found on the verso of the card.
