Description

Comic valentine of the changeable 'before and after' type with second illustration inside. 18mo-size white wove paper with embossed border and hand-coloured lithograph of a woman wearing a flounced pink skirt and carrying a green parasol. Another hand-coloured lithograph on the right-hand inside page shows the same woman wearing much plainer clothes and carrying a parcel wrapped in paper, presumably containing a purchase from a pawnshop. The word 'pop' was a slang term relating to pawning activities. A printed verse below: "SUNDAY AND MONDAY / On the Sunday you are dressed in the very latest fashion / With every requisite to captivate a fop / On the Monday you are fretful, cross & in a passion / and are compelled to hasten to the Pop.". "J.T. Wood 278, Strand" printed at lower left and right. Additionally embossed "WOOD" at lower left. Another version of this card features a man instead of a woman in the role, with the verse altered to fit. See P.14412-R-18. From a series of 'changeable' valentines by J.T. Wood, six of which are mounted onto adjacent leaves of the same album. See P.14412-R-15, P.14412-R-17, P.14412-R-18, P.14412-R-20 and P.14412-R-37.
