A tinted lithograph in blue, green, red, pink, gold and lilac inks on white wove paper. A lace-paper front with a central window is attached along the left edge. 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 printed 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.". As Gilks emigrated to Australia in 1852, this design is most likely to have been produced either 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 interior is blank. The distribution of lithographic tint is closely comparable to another example of the same design, P.14346-R-39. P.14414-R-105 is another version of this design where the flesh of the figures is hand-coloured without lithograph and where the lilac lithographic tint on the wings and robe of the fairy is more extensive and intense. From a series of lithographed valentines and valentine designs by Gilks mounted together in album P.14414-R. Other valentine designs by Gilks are contained in album P.14346-R.
