IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 214736 accession number: P.14412-R-12 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Comic valentine on the subject of the crinoline/loose morals. 18mo-size white wove paper with embossed border and hand-coloured woodcut of a woman wearing a short crinoline skirt, with applied textile, which is slipped in through a slit in the paper from the verso. The textile lifts up to show the crinoline hoop and the woman's drawers. A printed verse with sexual undertones below: 'Dear Miss you look so very fine, / Dress'd out in rouge and crinoline, / Your tongue so long, and nose so plump, / Which makes my heart go thump-a-thump'. '[J.T. Wood] 278 Strand' printed at lower left and right. The inside pages are blank. Mounted on the same album leaf as other similar cards by J.T. Wood, all of the same size and relating to the subject of crinolines. See especially P.14412-R-19, which uses applied textile and has a similar verse. It seems quite likely that the series of valentines on the subject of crinolines which are mounted together in album P.14412-R were purchased by Glaisher from the Actons of Brighton in 1924. In a letter to Miss Catherine Parsons dated 19th November 1924, Glaisher states: 'I am enclosing some valentines sent me on appro [approval] from Miss Acton of Brighton: they are 3/- each or £2.10 for the lot. They all relate to the crinoline period 1860 ... There are some duplicates tht [that] you could relieve me of if I take the set which may be the best to do.'.
