IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 214797 accession number: P.14412-R-73 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Small 48mo-size playing-card-style comic valentine with applied glazed chromolithographed heads. A lithograph in black and white of a male figure on one knee proposing to a female figure who holds a dustpan in her left hand. Coloured, comic heads have been affixed over the original heads. The black and white lithograph was probably intended for hand-colouring. A chromolithographed motto at upper left: SOUVENIR. From a series of postcard-style valentines with comic heads, three examples of which are mounted on the same album leaf. Two further examples were originally mounted here but were included in the exhibition, _For ever thine: the nineteenth century valentine_, held in the Charrington Print Room at the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1995 and so have been catalogued separately.
