Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
White lace-paper mounted with a smaller panel of silver and white cameo-embossed lace-paper with a design of a girl and boy in 18th-century dress and winged putti and flowers above. A rectangular glazed chromolithograph of a flower bouquet is slipped into the panel at upper centre. A circular frame of silver and turquoise embossed paper laurel leaves is mounted on paper springs around the chromolithograph. The paper springs are now stuck down. A simple chromolithographed paper scroll with flowers and verse is affixed at lower centre: ''TIS HAPPINESS WE HAVE IN VIEW, / AND MINE IS IN POSSESSING YOU'. The lace-paper front is without a back paper and is pasted directly onto the album leaf.
