IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215165 accession number: P.14416-R-20 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Tuesday 7 June 2022 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A lithograph in black ink with hand colouring in red, green, yellow, brown and blue paint on 4to-size very thin, white wove paper and surrounded by a circular lithographed border of flowers printed in blue ink. At the centre of the border is a scene of a young woman tying her boot on a tree stump watched by a young man wearing a top hat, who stands behind a tree to the left. The cheeks of the two figures are coloured pink. A castle on a hill is seen in the distance on the right. A number printed within the illustration at lower left: '50', indicates that this valentine is one of a series. A verse is printed below: 'Untill [sic] I thought St. Valentine / Might be my friend and you incline / To favor me your constant lover / Who thus his wishes do discover.'. The interior is blank. One of four valentines from the same series, all with lithographed flower garland borders in blue ink, mounted together in album P.14416-R. A hand-written inscription in graphite on the album leaf below P.14416-R-17 was probably transcribed from a hand-written MS by second-hand bookseller, R.S. Frampton found loose on the back fly-leaf of album P.14416-R (See P.14416-R-L1). The MS lists P.14416-R-17, P.14416-R-18 and P.14416-R-20 as a group of three and brackets them together with the price 'the three for 10/6'. P.14416-R-19 is a fourth example from the same series mounted beside the others, which Glaisher either already owned or bought at a later date. 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.
