A chromolithograph with rounded corners affixed to the centre of 'lace'-edged white card, features a miniature gentleman wearing sober black morning coat and high-necked collar. He has a melancholy expression on his face and holds the stem of a passion flower, which entwines around him. A scrap affixed above with the motto: CHEER / UP. 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. Almost certainly originally contained inside a cream envelope found loose on the same leaf of the album and inscribed in hand-written black ink: "Flower type / c. 184-" and "8" written in blue crayon. The envelope possibly originated with a dealer who was sending Glaisher valentines on approval. An inscription in graphite on the same album leaf at lower centre: "c. 184-", relates to the inscription on the loose envelope.P.14412-R-861accession numberP.14412-R-86214810priref214810urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/214810https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/214810referenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumBequeathed by Dr J.
