IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 214818 accession number: P.14412-R-94 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Comic valentine. Small 64mo-size white card with embossed border and scalloped edges. A 'book' of cream card affixed at the centre with a lithographed cover design tinted in blue and yellow: THE / GRAMMAR / OF / LOVE. Within medallion at centre: INDICATIVE MOOD / PRESENT TENSE / SINGULAR. Inside the 'book' on the right-hand 'page' is a tinted lithograph in sepia with hand-colouring of a man on his knees before a woman, captioned above: I LOVE. Printed on the white card backing at upper and lower centre: "I love, you may believe / it true / I cannot love elsewhere / but you." From a series and one of six in the collection, four of which are mounted onto the same leaf in album P.14412-R. P.14357-R and P.14373-R were also originally mounted onto the same leaf of album P.14412-R. All six cards were almost certainly originally contained inside a cream envelope found loose on the same leaf of the album and inscribed in hand-written black ink: "Grammar of Love, / Set of 6 / (_Possibly unique_) / c. 183-". The envelope possibly originated with a dealer who was sending Glaisher valentines on approval. 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.
