The border has been delicately tinted with a blue wash. A hand-coloured woodcut at the centre shows a woman in an interior receiving a letter from Cupid, vases of flowers to left and right. Verses above and below the central image: "I send a message to my only love. / And hope thou will my ardent wish approve ... / Then fail not to requite this love of mine, / With love as pure and warm, sweet Valentine." This is the same verse that is used in example, P.14346-R-67, suggesting that the verses for these cheaply produced prints were probably heavily recycled. Printed at lower centre: "London S, Marks and Sons.". The inside pages are blank. From a series. One of 7 prints of a similar style bought at auction. A clipping from the sale catalogue is pasted to the album leaf below P.14346-R-63: "Old Valentines - continued / 752 Coloured Sentimental Examples - 7in / all, 4to size, 1 pubd. By A. Park, of Fins- / bury, the others by S. Marks and Son, / each with blank fly-sheet, and coloured / woodcut borders, nice state, 185 - 17s 6d / ...". This group of valentines appears to have been bought in 1924 from the bookseller, R.S. Frampton who was based at "Walton House", 37 Fonthill Road, Finsbury Park, London, N4. The bookseller's catalogue (No. 35), with several lot descriptions cut from it, was found in boxes containing Glaisher's valentines. There are two examples by A. Park in the group. One of these was may have been bought by Glaisher at a later date and positioned by him alongside the existing print.

Marks: See E.2046-1953 and E.2062-1953, which have been given a date of circa 1850.
