Description

Playing card-size lithographed geometric design using red and gold inks with central letterpress verse: 'FORGET-ME-NOT / Time cannot / change or alter me, / Whate'er may be my / lot ...'. A scrap of a young girl with muff and dog is affixed over the verse as a flap. The interior is blank. One of a series of cards with similar geometric lithographed designs and applied chromolithographs mounted on the same leaf of album P.14413-R. P.14413-R-59 and P.14413-R-62 have the same background design (P.14413-R-62 uses pink ink) but with different figure scraps and verses.
