Two cameo embossed and pierced paperlace valentine cards, possibly by T.W. Strong, one with a hand-coloured lithographed centre of a butterfly, each wing lifting to reveal a verse 'I send this flower to one/all lovely!/Whose mind of noble frame/Makes this dull life all poetry/And weariness a name', the other with chromolithographic and silvered details, opening to reveal a verse, both with original envelopes addressed to 'Willie-K-Wilson Esq., 111 Hicks St', S. 5 x 3¼in., L. 5½ x 4in., c. 1850-60.
