IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 214424 accession number: P.14346-R-38 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A tinted lithograph in red, green, blue, brown and black inks with hand-colouring on white wove paper. A lithographed vignette of a couple embracing on a grassy bank, a printed verse below: "The fountains mingle with the river / And the rivers with the ocean / The winds of heaven, mix forever, / With a sweet commotion. ...". The poem seems to be an modified version of Shelley's poem, _Love's Philosophy_ (1820). The lithographed image - of grass, flowers and butterflies - is continued below the verse at lower right. Signed at lower right: "E. Gilks del & lith.". The interior is blank. P.14414-R-110 is another example of this design, but where the blue lithographic ink is less intense. As Gilks emigrated to Australia in 1852, this lithograph is most likely either to have been produced during Gilks's apprenticeship in London to Thomas Dean, between 1836-1843 or prior to 1852. An inscription in graphite on the album leaf: "E Gilks". Similar inscriptions, probably in the same hand, mainly transcribing maker details, are found elsewhere on the leaves of this album and also throughout album P.14344-R. These inscriptions were made by Miss Catherine Parsons who was a close friend of Glaisher towards the end of his life and undertook to arrange and mount his valentine collection into albums from the Autumn of 1924 through to the Summer of the following year and beyond. See letters from Glaisher to Parsons in the Fitzwilliam Museum archive. From a series of lithographed valentines and valentine designs by Gilks mounted together in album P.14346-R. Other valentine designs by Gilks are contained in album P.14414-R. title: Valentine card LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Paintings, Drawings and Prints creditline: Bequeathed by Dr J.
