A large 4to-size valentine of white wove paper with a scallop shell embossed border design and small, novelty envelope of white lace-paper affixed at the centre. The envelope may originally have contained a message or keepsake but is now empty. Above and below and intersecting with the envelope are two collages of cut-paper, lithographed and hand-coloured flowers with applied fabric leaves and stencilled leaves with hand-drawn stems and tendrils. A silver paper love knot ornament is affixed at centre right. Remnants of glue at centre left suggests that a similar ornament was affixed here, but is now lost. A hand-written verse is written above and below the central decoration: 'Sweet is the love that meets return / Like two fond hearts that fiercely burn'.
