Loose inside album P.14415-R, on the ninth leaf. A large front of white wove paper with an embossed border (as lace) and a cut-paper, hand coloured lithograph of flowers and the remains of a 'cobweb' device around a blank trefoil shape at the centre. Within the trefoil shape is an applied roundel of white paper with a hand coloured lithograph of a heart crossed with Hymen's flaming torch and Cupid's bow and arrow with the motto below: 'United in Love'. The roundel would originally have only been revealed when the 'cobweb' was lifted up. A lithographed verse is printed above and below: 'Oh! Flowers, my love, are sweetest / In the Spring time of the year, / And my willing heart, may well impart, / A lay to one so dear ...'. 'G. KERSHAW' is stamped at lower centre.
