DescriptionCut and embossed paper "lace" card, with green and orange paper backing. The paper is cut to show a woman standing on one side and a man with a dog standing at the other. Color lithograph printed images of a beehive with words "Industry." At bottom, colored pink rose are applied to the front. Inside, on a green, circular, scallop cut label is the text: "My Only One. / There's not a look, a word of thine / My soul hath e'er forgot; / tou ne'er has bid a ringlet shine, / Nor given thy locks one graceful twine, / Which I remember not. / There never yet a murmer fell / From thy beguiling tongue / Which did not with a lingering spell / Upon my charmed senses dwell, / Like something Heaven had sung."
