IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215488 accession number: P.14543-R DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A comic woodcut valentine on thin wove paper which has been cut down and pieced together in places. A hand-coloured woodcut of a large, rotund lady wearing a cook's frilled cap and apron, sitting on a stool, crockery and pans on shelving behind, a younger man dressed in footman's livery sitting astride her. A verse is printed below: 'Amourous [sic] Cookey is this the style, / In which you strive the time to guile, / To treat some smart young serving man / With a nice sop in your pan. / While you indulge each warm caress, / Beware you don't get in a mess, / And find you get more than you seek, / And charge him half-a-crown a week.'. A faint graphite inscription is visible above the figures and appears to be an imagined speech spoken by the cook: 'Oh John this is better / than the Rolling / pin'. P.14543-R is one of several cheap comic woodcuts found in the 'Chamberlain envelope' which have additional text or imagery cut and pasted into the original and/or imagined speech (often very lewd in content) added in the form of graphite inscriptions written in the same hand (not Glaishers). Glaisher presumably bought these as a group from another collection.
