Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
Small 48mo playing-card-style 'men and flowers' themed comic valentine with a die-stamped 'lace' edge. A chromolithograph with rounded corners affixed to the centre of 'lace'-edged white card, features a miniature gentleman with Dundreary whiskers holding out a 'Note' with prices on it, two forget-me-not plants in the background dwarf the figure. A scrap affixed above with the motto: MY / DOVE. From a series featuring men with flowers or as hybrid flowers and one of seven mounted in album P.14412-R. P.14374-R and P.14361-R were also originally mounted here. The quality of the art-work in this series is high, although neither the artist nor the manufacturer are known. It is possible that this card was included in the envelope P.14412-R-L7, although the fact that it is mounted on the facing album leaf and kept separate from the eight other cards from the series, suggests more likely that it was not.
