Description

Playing card-size lithographed geometric design using pink and gold inks with central letterpress verse: 'LOVE / Charm of my / life by whose / power, - All cares / are hushed ...'. A scrap of a young girl in a pink dress with kittens 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-61 have the same background design, but in red and gold inks, and with different figure scraps and verses.
