The lithographed colours are blue, green, red, lilac and a small amount of gold on the fairy's wings with additional hand colouring of pink for the skin of the fairy and the sleeping figure. A lithographed roundel in gold ink, with scrolling design around the lower half enclosing the verse down the left side, and lithographed medallion in gold ink at lower centre. The roundel contains a tinted lithograph representing the moment that the sleeping Endymion is visited by the moon godess, Selene (represented here as a winged fairy). A verse on the theme of the Greek myth of Endymion is lithographed below: 'On the green sward sleeping / Young Endymion lay, / Dian, all things sleeping, / With her silver ray ...'. Signed below the roundel, lower left: 'E. Gilks, del & lith.'. The interior is blank. As Gilks emigrated to Australia in 1852, this design is most likely either to have been produced during Gilks's apprenticeship in London to Thomas Dean, between 1836-1843 or between 1844-1850 when he was in partnership with his brother Thomas, a wood-engraver, based at 4 Fenchurch Building, Fenchurch, London. The hand-coloured areas of P.14414-R-105 were produced as lithograph in subsequent versions of this card. See P.14346-R-39 and P.14414-R-L10 to which a lace-paper front with central window is attached and which appears to be a final version of the design. P.14414-R-105 is one of a number of designs for valentines by Gilks which are mounted together as a group in album P.14414-R. Other designs by Gilks are contained in album P.14346-R.
