A little story about victorian greeting cards.   I have seen cards being sold as Esther Howland, however, she ceased production in 1880. 
While Germany was known for its output of colorful lithography, the English specialized at embossing, the process of pressing a raised pattern or image, as well as the production of lace paper. Both innovations helped to develop the English technique of greeting card manufacturing. English firms later sent Valentines in this style to the US, and this resulted in American firms selling Valentines of their own.

Among the great American innovators of the Valentine was Esther Howland. Using imported paper lace and floral decorations from England, she produced her own Valentines and later founded an assembly line business in her home of Worcester, Massachusetts, due to high demand. Howland is also credited with several innovations of the Valentine including the addition of brightly colored paper wafers which contrasted the white paper lace. Another novel design was a dark border underlayer to the Valentine—known as a shadow box—to add visual appeal.

George Whitney, another Worcester resident, became one of the largest producers of Valentines in the US by installing the machinery necessary for embossing paper and manufacturing paper lace domestically. The George C. Whitney Company also solidified its influence in the industry by purchasing Esther Howland’s business in 1881. In the final decades of the 19th century, Valentine’s cards were increasingly produced with contemporary Victorian aesthetics, becoming more extravagantly designed and brightly colored through the improved lithographic process. Valentines as well as other greeting card types were eventually mass-produced in many parts of the world, bringing success to many of their manufacturers. However, this investment in efficiency also meant the newer, factory-produced Valentines lacked personal details, raising concerns that the charm of Valentine’s Day had been tarnished by industrialization.
The nineteenth century oversaw many innovations on the designs of greeting cards. One addition was Esther Howland’s use of white paper lace to contrast her Valentines. This card has the paper lace attached to cupid and the floral design of the color. One of the appealing aspects of these well-designed cards was their messaging ingenuity.
Howland is also credited with the introduction of the “lift-up” valentine, which consisted of several paper-lace motifs that were built up in tiers. Looking through the openings provided a unique picture in the center. This type of card was particularly effective when placed in an ornamental box made specifically to display these special valentines.
