Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
White wove paper with a lace-paper border. At the centre is a vase of forget-me-nots composed of a collage of cut-paper lithographed blue and white vase with hand-painted scroll handles and cut-paper flowers with gouache centres and hand-drawn and painted tendrils, stems and leaves. A handwritten message in black ink (presumably written by the sender) at upper and lower centre: 'Affections Offering / to thee I send'. The interior is blank.
