A hand-coloured lithograph on white wove paper with a cut-out figure of a man wearing fashionable clothes, a monocle in his right eye. The cut-out lifts to reveal the same figure in his shirt sleeves ironing a pair of breeches, a pair of scissors to his left. This man, a tailor by trade, pretends to own the clothes he makes for others. A printed verse below: "Poor Snip you work hard all the week, / And on Sunday you come out, / And in some one else's clothes, / You strut so fine fine about ..." (210) printed below the image. The inside pages are blank. From a series of 15 Valentines with figures which lift to reveal their true characters which were bought at a sale, lot 590. See clipping from sale catalogue pasted to the album leaf below: 'Coloured Changeable Valentines of the 60's, pubd. by Marks, etc. ...'. This group of valentines was bought in 1923-24 from the bookseller, R.S. Frampton who was based at "Walton House", 37 Fonthill Road, Finsbury Park, London, N4. A Frampton sale catalogue from this date (No. 34) found in boxes containing Glaisher's valentines has lot 590 cut out from it. See P.14527-R. This fact can be verified by cross-referencing with an identical but complete book catalogue found among Glaisher's valentines, with the listing for lot 590 intact.
