Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
Small 48mo-size playing-card-style comic valentine with applied glazed chromolithographed heads. A lithograph in black and white of a male solider figure approaching a female figure sitting in a chair with a book in her hands. Coloured, comic, chromolithographed heads have been affixed over the original heads. The black and white lithograph was probably intended for hand-colouring. A chromolithographed motto at upper right: SUCCESS / TO YOU. 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. See P.14368-R and P.14369-R.
