The design of the lithograph shows a large paper scroll supported by putti and bordered with garlands of fruit and flowers. Cupid's bow and arrow is at upper centre and at lower centre there is an ornate capital 'H' with 'OPE' drawn across the central cross-piece of the 'H'. A verse is printed onto the scroll: 'Welcome sweet morning pleasing to my sight / Teach me Muses teach me what to write ... / Ah me! I fear such bliss will neer be mine, / Tell me my doom my dearest Valentine'. The interior of the secondary support is blank. Although the lithograph is unsigned, it is grouped together with a number of designs for valentines by British lithographer, Edward Gilks in album P.14414-R and is stylistically similar to these works. As Gilks emigrated to Australia in 1852, this design is most likely to have been produced either during Gilks's apprenticeship in London to Thomas Dean, between 1836 and 1843 or between 1844 and 1850 when he was in partnership with his brother Thomas, a wood-engraver, based at 4 Fenchurch Building, Fenchurch, London.
