Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
White, cameo-embossed lace-paper with a scene of pastoral love, a couple playing musical instruments in a field with sheep, a church at the far left. A lunette at upper centre with a scene of lovers in a shell boat pulled by swans. An oval window at the centre has a rice-paper blind with a hand-painted, stencilled design of a red and yellow striped tulip and forget-me-nots. A printed motto on a paper lozenge is affixed at lower centre: 'Faithful & True / I'll prove to you'. A loose pink slip paper is contained inside. The interior is blank.
