Description: Elaborate die-cut scalloped border of embossed flowers and scrolls with panels of pinpricked lace. Oval central panel contains a printed poem: 'The Wish./Wherever you dwell may content your lot./And friendship like ivy, encircle your cot;/May each rosy morn dress'd in mantles of peace./Shed health o'er your dwelling your blessing increase./May gay smiling plenty adorn the fair spot./May sorrow ne'er enter the door of your cot;/May your honest endeavours be crown'd with success;/May you ever live happy ne'er witness distress;/On your neat humble roof may these blessings descent./'Tis a wish free from guile'tis the wish of a FRIEND.'
