A central window with scalloped edges features rose garlands stretching across the window at upper left and right and lower left and right which would originally have been rendered three-dimensional when the upper layer was 'raised' on the paper springs. At the centre of the window and mounted onto the back paper which is hand-coloured as blue sky and yellow dawn/sunset, is a collaged wreath of cut-paper green leaves, with gilt detail, decorated with hand-coloured and glazed paper apples, red rose buds and blue flowers. Inside the wreath is a hand-coloured and embossed paper dove carrying a silver paper envelope in its beak. Such envelopes would usually contain a hand-written or printed motto, but this one is blank. Affixed at lower centre is a large paper scroll with details lithographed in gold ink bears a motto lithographed in blue ink: 'Affections Offering'. title: Valentine card LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Paintings, Drawings and Prints creditline: Bequeathed by Dr J.
