Valentine card
Publisher: S. Marks & Sons
Comic valentine on the theme of the crinoline. A hand-coloured lithograph on white wove paper with applied textile. A woman boards an omnibus, the door held open for her by a man in a brown coat. The textile skirt lifts up to reveal the hoop and lacy petticoats. A printed verse below: "Oh! Mr Conductor don't look this way, / And what you may see pray do not say, / [No Miss] indeed that never would pay, / I should loose all my fares 2D all the way." S. Marks & Sons / Houndsditch, London, printed at lower left and right. A duplicate of P.14379-R (although each with different colouring). From the same series as P.14345-R-23.
