Comments:
This card as a whole would normally be found inside a cardboard box, and is hence recorded here.
This card comprises a woven padded cushion with a central lift up flap. In the middle of the flap is an appliqued rose bud. Behind the lift up flap is a pair of printed cards. Another printed card is fastened to the rear of the cushion.
The three printed cards each have the printed " T.S. " initials which define them as being of Thomas Stevens manufacture, together with a printed number.
At one time it was assumed the number printed on the card defined the card design. However, these numbers are repeated on multiple different designs, so the relevance of the number is unknown (unless perhaps it is a short hand for the artist/designer, rather than the design, for such as royalty payments).
