IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215442 accession number: P.14420-R.f37r DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Wednesday 27 February 2019 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A large comic valentine with two moveable parts (now damaged) on white wove paper which has been trimmed to produce rounded corners. A hand-coloured lithograph of a woman at her toilette with real hair stuck to the cut-paper head. The moveable parts are damaged and the woman's right arm appears to be missing. The paper flannel is still moveable by manipulation upwards and downwards of a paper lever which is accessible through a slit on the verso of the album leaf. The head of the figure nods up and down when manipulated with the remains of the paper lever on the recto. A lithographed verse in black ink is printed below: 'How glad I am dear Valentine, / (Indeed it is the case,) / To see at last, that you incline, / To wash your dirty face: / For when last time, I saw you out, / I stood all in amaze, / Because I saw it (pray don't pout / Had not been wash'd for days.'. Printed below the image: 'Dean & Son. 119 Ludgate Hill, London.'. A graphite inscription of '109' has been added beside the printed number '119'. An initial 'N' is written in graphite on the album leaf below the valentine. The names 'Edith' and 'Netty' are written into the album. These names would probably account for the single initials of 'E' or 'N' written on the album leaves adjacent to a number of the valentines in the album. The initials presumably indicate either from whom they were received or to whom they were sent. 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.
