IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215106 accession number: P.14414-R-115 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A lithograph in black ink on a narrow strip of white laid paper. A small vignette of a goblet of grapes with a pineapple and peaches below and to the left. A verse is lithographed below: 'Grapes of pure and glowing lustre! / May the hand that plucked each cluster, / never shake with age! ...'. The verse is taken from Louisa Stuart Costello's translations of Persian poetry, _The Rose Garden of Persia_ which was published in 1845. The print-maker is almost certainly Edward Gilks as P.14414-R-115 is grouped together with a number of designs for valentines by Gilks in album P.14414-R and is stylistically similar to them. P.14414-R-103 is another design, also presumably by Gilks, which reproduces poetry from the same source. As Gilks emigrated to Australia in 1852, this design is most likely to have been produced prior to this date but in or after 1845, following the publication of Costello's book of Persian poetry. 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.
