At the centre of the embossed lace-paper design is a heart containing the motto: 'WANTED / A / SWEET'. The heart and motto make reference to the confectionary known as the conversation lozenge, which was sold in England and America at the turn of the century. The lace-paper is stained with adhesive. The interior is blank. A price is inscribed in graphite on the verso: '1/6 [1 shilling and sixpence]'. P.14589-R was contained along with seven other valentines inside a brown envelope addressed on the recto to, 'Dr. J.W.L. Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge, England', a return address given at upper left: 'From / L.M. Franklin / 104 West 39th St[reet] / Baltimore'. Glaisher's friend, the American mathematician, Professor William Woolsey Johnson (1841-1927) lived in Baltimore and Glaisher visited him and his wife on many occasions from the 1880s up to 1916. L.M. Franklin is unknown and may have been an art dealer or second-hand book-seller whom Glaisher met during his trips to Baltimore. Julia Poole has documented Glaisher's friendship with Johnson and his trips to America. See Poole's essay, 'Dr J.W.L. Glaisher, The making of a great collection', in Michael Archer, _Delftware in the Fitzwilliam Museum_ (2013), p. xvi and n. 25, p. xxvi. See record P.14583-R for further details.
