Description

A playing-card style valentine with a white, embossed scalloped edge and lithographed cream, tonal background. An embossed, chromolithographed flower bouquet at the centre lifts up in sections to give a sense of three-dimensionality and lifts up in its entirety to reveal a lithographed message within an oval frame: 'My / bright & pleasing / Star'. Two dimensional chromolithography continues the flower bouquet around the edges.
