On the recto is a cream rose and pink rose bud and quaker grass entwined around a gilt cross. A lithographed verse below: 'I wish my pen had eloquence to tell / How much I love thee for I love thee well'. The card is unmarked, but the style and design are very closely comparable with the folding, silk fringed cards with chromolithographed flower sprays produced by Thomas Stevens in the mid 1870s. Compare also with P.14594-R, a similar card with silk fringing contained loose inside the same red envelope. On the verso is a couple of white narcissi with vine leaves entwined around a gilt cross. A lithographed verse below: 'Dear love, the truth I gladly own / My heart doth beat for thee alone.'. A handwritten inscription in graphite on the recto at lower right: 'M Lattimer, Carlisle Feb 14, 1880'. The same handwriting and location (Carlisle) is seen in two other valentines found loose inside the same red envelope. See also P.14593-R and P.14598-R. The hand is closely comparable to that of Catherine Parsons, who arranged Glaisher's valentine collection into albums from the Autumn of 1924 through to the Summer of the following year and beyond. See letters from Glaisher to Parsons in the Fitzwilliam Museum archive.
