The lithographic drawing details the outlines of the flowers and leaves only and the design was obviously intended for hand-colouring. Verse is printed above and below: "The Rose is Lovely to the Vien / The lily white the violet blue / Each flower unto the smell is sweet / But thou art more than is complete / Thy charms appear to me divine / And you I choose my Valentine. ...". The inside pages are blank. One of a series of cards on cream laid paper with uncoloured lithographs, apparently all later reprints, the designs possibly taken from collections of love poetry published in the early nineteenth century by James Kendrew of York, and mounted in album P.14348-R. title: Valentine card LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Paintings, Drawings and Prints creditline: Bequeathed by Dr J.
