ENT. STA. HALL at lower left and MARCUS WARD & CO at lower right (repeated below printed border). The chromolithograph is mounted on white 8vo-sized card with a gold lithographic border. On the right-hand inside page is a verse lithographed in gold ink with a blue border of scrolling leaves: "I dreamt I saw you yesternight. / And claspt my hands about your eyes, / Nor dared to venture in your sight / Until you pardoned the surprise. ...". MARCUS WARD & CO printed at lower left. A question mark in black ink has been added into the verse after the word "guess". This valentine design is by Kate Greenaway and was published by Marcus Ward & Co. as one of four illustrations created by her for the book, _The Quiver of Love, a collection of valentines ancient and modern_ (London, 1876), featuring men and women wearing medieval costume. All were unsigned. This design is titled _The Surprise_ and appears on p.53 of the book. See British Library: www.flickr.com/photos/britishlibrary/11115740613. Walter Crane also produced four designs for the book, all of which, like Greenaways, were also produced as valentine cards. The designs are among Greenaway's earliest work, before she became an established artist. The verses are believed to have been written by the Reverend W.J. Loftie. See Frank Staff, _The Valentine & Its Origins,1969, pp. 106-7_. This card was included in the exhibition of valentine cards, _For ever thine: the nineteenth century valentine_, held in the Charrington Print Room at the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1995, no. 62. reference exhibition-3260 adlib-exhibition-3260 821e2a99-5861-36f6-b61e-49f80f8d737a The Object of My Affection: Stories of Love from the Fitzwilliam Collection P.14395-R 1 accession number P.14395-R 214560 priref 214560 uri https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/214560 https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/214560 reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum Bequeathed by Dr J.
