White embossed lace-paper with gilt detail and pink slip paper featuring a scene with scrolls and putti who flank a tablet containing Cupid's bow and arrow at lower centre whilst an enthroned Cupid sits inside a scallop shell at upper centre. Cupid is partially obscured by an affixed paper scroll with lithographed detail in gold ink and motto in red ink: 'Emblems of Love to thee I send'. An oval window at the centre contains a rice-paper blind which is lithographed with a heraldic design in gold, black, green and purple inks and mounted with a white, embossed paper ornament of a ewer resting on a garlanded plinth. A chromolithographed scrap of pink rose and blue flowers has been trimmed and affixed at lower centre. 'KERSHAW' is stamped along the spine at lower left.
