The border has been delicately tinted with a grey wash. A hand-coloured woodcut at the centre shows a couple making music together on a garden bench whilst Cupid, hovering in a cloud to the left, pulls back his bow to fire an arrow at the couple. The seated female figure appears to be playing a colascione, an instrument associated with the Italian commedia dell'arte in the 16th century and which was adopted in France and Germany during the 18th-century as a bass continuo instrument (i.e. as a bass line accompaniment to a melody as sung by the male figure in this woodcut). It is therefore an unusual inclusion in a 19th-century English print and indicates that maybe the woodcut composition was either imported from Germany or influenced by 18th or 19th-century German engravings showing this instrument being played. Verses above and below the central image: \"Dear Valentine, my love, my friend, \/ To thee these lovely lines I send: ...\". 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 \/ ...\". There are two examples by A. Park in the group. One of these was most likely bought by Glaisher at a later date and positioned by him alongside the exisiting print.
