IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 206606 accession number: P.14348-R-18 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Thursday 13 August 2015 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Design for a valentine on white wove paper with a lithograph of a woman sitting on a grassy bank, her right knee raised. The lithograph is cut as a roundel and affixed to the paper at upper centre. It is signed at lower left: "E. Gilks [lith.?]". A rectangular border is drawn in graphite around the roundel and extends to three quarters of the way down the page. A verse in faded ink is written below: "Oh light by thy slumbers! / And lovely the forms that around thee are flitting ...". A blind stamp of prince of wales feathers within a border of curved scrolls at upper left corner of paper. The same stamp is found on P.14348-R-15, which features another lithograph by Gilks. An inscription in ink (same hand as verse) at upper right corner: "[4?]5†". An inscription written sideways in graphite along the right edge: "The drawing & writing to come [rather?] within this space -". The inside pages are blank. As Edward Gilks emigrated to Australia in 1852, the lithograph and presumably the whole design, is most likely to have been produced during Gilks's apprenticeship in London to lithographer, Thomas Dean between 1836-1843 and prior to 1852. P.14348-R-18 is mounted as a group in the same album with other valentine designs signed by Gilks. Album P.14346-R contains six lithographed valentine designs by Gilks, some of them proofs.
