DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: 4to-size white wove paper with embossed border. A hand-coloured lithographed posy of flowers (dog-rose, violets, dahlias) affixed at the centre which is cut into a 'cobweb' device. A silk thread lifts to reveal a lithographed and hand-coloured dove in a blaze of light carrying a letter in its beak. A lithographed verse above and below the central image: "Think not, Oh! think - this trifle vain, / That brings remembrance back again - / When, with a feeling fraught and true, / I wove a fragrant wreath for you ...". G KERSHAW embossed at lower centre. The inside pages are blank. A clipping from a sale catalogue is affixed to the album leaf: "601 Spider's Web - A choice 4to example of the rare moveable variety, one of Kershaw's stamped specimens ... c. 183- / 21s ...". The clipping is from a catalogue of 1924 (No. 36) from the bookseller, R.S. Frampton who was based at "Walton House", 37 Fonthill Road, Finsbury Park, London, N4. See Valentinesarchive15. Four of Frampton's catalogues dating from the mid 1920s were found in boxes containing Glaisher's valentines.
