Well! You are a nice little Duck
Sample Valentine's card comprising two sheets of identical white lace paper by Mansell with embossed flower design including an arrangement of four roundels of embossed flowers. Applied to the central panel of the top sheet a paper cut out embossed duck surrounded by a rought pencil sketch of water and reeds etch. Above is handwritten 'Well you are a nice little Duck', below is an applied garland of coloured embossed paper flowers. The undersheet has similar decoration comprising a paper cut out image of a duck with the same handwritten message and a similar garland decoration. The card is incomplete and was probably a sample card.
