A 3D Valentine's Day card given to Charlotte Dowd. This scallop-edged card is multilayered with paper and lace. In the center, the layers of paper form an oval frame around a portrait of a young woman. Above her is a cupid-figure. The overall design features floral motifs and metallic accents. Inside the card is a short poem framed by an illustration of birds perched in a tree. On the back of the card, "Charlotte Dowd" is written in a child-like script. This card was likely given to her by one of her students.
