IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 214769 accession number: P.14412-R-45 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Valentine with moving part. Hand-coloured lithograph on 32mo-size white wove paper with an embossed border. A fishmonger stands with his legs apart holding a large fish in his hands. When the tab is pulled, the fish moves up and down. The original tab is missing and a new one inserted in its place. A printed verse below: "Your floundering about is no use, / No man of mussles for me, / With your crabby temper and abuse, / Is Billingsgate slang to a T.". The inside pages are blank. From a series of moveable valentines which were possibly made by Windsor & Sons. The Glaisher collection contains six of these, four of which are mounted inside album P.14412-R on the same or adjacent album leaf. The other two were included in the 1995 Fitzwilliam exhibition, _For ever thine: the nineteenth century valentine_, but were originally mounted inside P.14412-R with the other cards from the series. See P.14360-R, a greengrocer holding a bunch of carrots which is operated by a push-tab. title: Valentine card LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Paintings, Drawings and Prints creditline: Bequeathed by Dr J.
