IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 214865 accession number: P.14413-R-15 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A frame of embossed lace-paper printed in two colours, green and pink, mounted with paper springs to plain embossed paper and decorated with pink and white fabric flowers and green gauze leaves. The design of Cupid and dove at upper and lower centre indicates that the 'frame' has been positioned upside-down. Additional scraps cut from the same green and pink embossed lace-paper are mounted onto the plain embossed paper at the centre of the 'frame'. A different gilded scrap with printed motto: 'MY OWN / MY GUIDING STAR' is affixed at the centre. A hand-written inscription in black ink on the inside right-hand page: 'To Mamie / From / Papa'. A hand-written inscription in graphite on the album leaf: '4/6' [4 shillings and sixpence]. This presumably relates to an inscription found on the verso of the card, although it may equally be a transcription from a hand-written MS by second-hand bookseller, R.S. Frampton, where this card is listed as 'My own Guiding Star' and priced at 4/6 [4 shillings and sixpence]. Glaisher bought many valentines from R.S. Frampton, especially between 1923 and 1925. P.14413-R-15 is listed with other cards from album P.14413-R, although much of the Frampton MS relates to cards that are contained in album P.14416-R. For the Frampton MS, see P.14416-R-L1. 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.
