A central aperture with gauze blind mounted with large sprays of fabric flowers, cut-paper leaves and real grasses. A central bouquet of white and blue fabric flowers, leaves and grasses. An interior silvered paper frame is visible through the blind, which when opened reveals a central medallion inscribed in pen and ink: 'To Diana'. On the verso is an extensive missive and verse, 'Virelay', from a suitor of the actress Diana from whom two further valentines are contained in this album (See also nos. 49 and 52 and the record for the album, P.14342-R): 'I love the good old customs / of St Valentine's famed day / So with right good will / I seize a quill / to indite a Virelay / to my Ladye Fayre / with the golden hair / who at Brighton now doth stay / _Virelay_ / Although far away Love / near the Deep Sea / My dreams night & day Love / are ever of thee / For thy return Love / I watch wearily / my eyes they still yearn Love / my own one to see / So homewards quick fly Love / and once more let me / as in days gone bye Love / thy Valentine be'. Signed with a monogram which is rendered illegible by the trimming of the paper along the lower edge, possibly to erase the identity of the sender.
