DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: A 'raised' valentine created on a lace-paper front sheet with a frame of embossed and silvered lace-paper (silver is tarnished, creating a rainbow effect) mounted with paper springs. A further frame of die-cut embossed and silvered lace-paper, to appear as a grotto with shells in the design, is attached to the first frame with paper springs. Embossed and hand-coloured Cupid figures are attached to the frame at lower centre. A gold-framed medallion at upper centre containing a lithographed (as handwritten) verse in blue ink: "Oh I would win thee / as my bride / and have thee ever / at my side." A flower bouquet viewed through the frames created by a collage of gold and silver tinsel flowers with red bead centres and leaves of gold and silver tinsel tied with a white satin ribbon. A hand-written verse on the inside right-hand page: "[?Then] blithe thou breath'st the morning air remember me / And think how gladly would I share its streets with thee ...". MANSELL stamped on the lace-paper front sheet (viewed from verso). Watermark: [..?] W GOOD / 1857. 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. 49.
