Mechanical valentine's card with lace paper border. Printed on the panel is a handcoloured lithograph of two lovers enclosed within a pink flower. An additional pink paper flower is applied over the top of the image. This is operated by an attached tab which emerges at the bottom of the card. As the tab is pulled the applied paper flower opens from the centre to reveal the image of the lovers. Printed below the flowers is a four line love poem.
