A garlanded 'frame' at the centre is created from embossed and hand-coloured sections of different flower varieties (fuschia, convolvulus, roses, wild pansy/viola ('heartsease') etc.) and a basketweave design within the paper to suggest ribbons wound around the flower garland, the edges of which have been expertly coloured in gold paint. At the centre, applied ivory satin ribbon has been criss-crossed within the oval aperture, holding in place a large bouquet of hand-coloured, cut-paper flowers. A motto is written in gold onto the ribbon at lower centre: 'To One I admire'. Two blindstamps on the lace-paper: 'DOBBS' at lower left '& KIDD' at lower right. The extensive handwritten dedication from the sender inside the valentine is partially visible through the ribbon. This valentine is one of three inside album P.14342-R which are dedicated to a woman called ‘Diana’, all apparently by the same suitor, who also refers to her as 'Ladye Fayre' in his effusive verse dedications (see also nos 52 and 76 and album record, P.14342-R). Inside is written in black ink: ‘My Dear Diana, / Once again / you know who / Whilst St. Valentine doth reign / Writes to you / to say that still I[he] do[es] remain / thy Lover true. / W?FB 14 Feby / Lo hear me swear / Ladye Fayre / ... Proclaim him thy _knight_ for St Valentine's _day_’. reference exhibition-3260 adlib-exhibition-3260 821e2a99-5861-36f6-b61e-49f80f8d737a The Object of My Affection: Stories of Love from the Fitzwilliam Collection P.14342-R-49 1 accession number P.14342-R-49 206529 priref 206529 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/206529 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/206529 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Bequeathed by Dr J.
