Valentine card
Publisher: Kershaw, George
White embossed lace-paper with gilt details. A pair of birds at lower centre and pair of putti at upper centre. A central window has a blind of orange gauze decorated with an embossed white paper ornament of a winged putti with flower garland, birds and urn. A collage of varnished fabric leaves and flowers with wax stamens and a hand-coloured cut-paper morning glory flower is arranged below the central window. At upper centre, a collage of silver metallic ferns and cut-paper and small fabric leaves flanks a cut-paper cartouche with lithographed details and motto printed in blue ink: 'AWAY FROM THEE / I SHALL IN / SADNESS BE'. 'KERSHAW & SON' is stamped along the spine at lower left. The front paper is adhered to the back. P.14418-R-11 employs the same embossed paper and similar collage elements.
