IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 214842 accession number: P.14412-R-L3 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Loose inside album P.14412-R between nos. 21 and 36. Comic valentine on the subject of a trade. Very small, 48mo size white wove paper with embossed border and hand-coloured lithograph of a cobbler holding a boot in his left hand and a tankard in his right. Printed verse below: "Dear Sobby [sic] they say you always are drunk / and frightful in features I see ...". A 'Snobber' was a slang term for a shoemaker or cobbler. 'Sobby' here is probably a mis-spelling of 'Snobby'. These cheaply made cards are generally full mis-spellings and grammatical errors. The inside pages are blank. "WOOD" embossed (faintly) at lower right. One of a series of small comic cards by J.T. Wood with embossed borders and hand-coloured lithographs on the subject of trades, sixteen of which are mounted as a group in album P.14412-R, along with three loose duplicates. This is a duplicate of P.14412-R-33. The printed verse runs into the embossed border in this exmaple and there are stains along the right edge. 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.
