Description

Cream, embossed lace-paper with latticework and flower garlands cut out within the central window (one missing) mounted with paper springs onto a back of cream wove paper. A small paper lozenge with printed motto in black ink: 'Sincere / Affection'. A central panel with an oval-shaped window contains a rectangular Baxter-process print by Baxter licensee, Joseph Mansell known as 'Apple Pickers'; a young woman wearing a yellow skirt and sleeves and pink bodice puts fruit into a basket of apples held by a young girl. See _A Pictorial Catalogue of Joseph Mansell’s Baxter Process Prints_ compiled by Michael Martin, Brian Lawrence and Roger Smith for the New Baxter Society, 2006, 'Apple Pickers' reproduced as no. 160, from Sheet H – Country Figures, p.49. The same Mansell Baxter-process print is seen in P.14420-R-f26r.
