White lace-paper border and central rectangular panel with a scalloped edge mounted with four roses cut from pink paper with lithographed detail in red ink and cut-paper green leaves with stems and tendrils hand-drawn in red ink around a drawing of the word 'LOVE' in gold ink with cutwork letters. A hand-written inscription above and below the central decoration in black ink: 'Dearest believe I / sincerely and truly love thee'. A different inscription in the same hand is seen on an almost identical card in the same album, P.14414-R-40. 'KERSHAW' stamped at lower centre. The stamp is not very 'clean' and difficult to decipher. A hand-written inscription in graphite at the inside upper right corner: 'J/C'. Similar inscriptions/markings in graphite are found on other cards in the same album.
