DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Aquatint and etching with hand-colouring on 4to-sized embossed white wove paper. From 'The Despondent Lover' (or 'The Unrequited Love') series. The border is lightly embossed with a design of leaves and flowers with lines of verse etched at upper and lower centre: "The Bird in yonder cage confined / sings but to lovers fond, sincere / On wings of faith and hope, combined / Brings soft emotion, fondly dear." An inner etched border of entwined leaves, flowers, urns and butterflies surrounds the central panel which shows a young woman seated inside a loggia interior clutching a love letter to her breast, a canary in a cage above her to the right and a spaniel at her feet. The etched border has been inexpertly hand-coloured. The inside pages are blank.
