Valentine card
Publisher: S. Marks & Sons
Comic valentine. A hand-coloured lithograph on white wove paper with applied textile. A woman in the street wearing a blue coat and hooped skirt which shows her ankles and boots; a house and iron railings behind and a man in a brown coat behind and to the left, staring at her through a monocle. The textile skirt lifts up to reveal the hoop and lacy petticoats. A printed verse below: "She was fine outside and rags within, / He a soft and simple swain, / She caught him like a silly fly, / By showing her legs and leering her eye." S. Marks & Sons / Houndsditch, London, printed at lower left and right. From the same series as P.14345-R-25.
