Valentine card
Publisher: Strong, Thomas W.
A hand-coloured lithograph on 4to-size, very thin white wove paper. An ornate, oval-shaped baroque-style strapwork/scrollwork border printed in blue ink with entwining vine with grapes, leaves, flowers featuring Cupid and Hebe. A heart pierced with an arrow at lower centre. Within the border is a lithograph printed in black ink with some hand colouring of a rural countrywoman who wears a ruff and carries a basket over her left arm. A cottage is seen in the distance on the right. A verse is printed below: 'Faithfull [sic] love and friendship true / In my breast alternate burn / All the love I plight to you / To me equal love return'. The interior is blank. The front is adhered to the back at upper right. One of four examples from the same series with blue lithographed ornate borders which are mounted together, consecutively in album P.14416-R. See also P.14416-R-12, P.14416-R-14 and P.14416-R-15. This card is listed along with P.14416-R-14 in a handwritten MS from second-hand bookseller, R.S. Frampton found on the back fly-leaf of album P.14416-R (See P.14416-R-L1), the two bracketed together and priced as 'the 2 for 7/0'.
