IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 206519 accession number: P.14342-R-39 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Thursday 13 August 2015 updated: Wednesday 6 February 2019 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Valentine of embossed and gilded lace-paper with hand-colouring (probably by the sender) of the blind-embossed basket of flowers at upper centre. The central panel is mounted with a collaged wreath of cut-paper and hand-coloured flowers (convolvulus identifiable) and some silvered cut-paper leaves. A cut-paper silvered dove flies at the centre. Further collaged elements at lower left and right of silver paper urns containing cut-paper green and silver fern fronds. Hand-written verses in pen and black ink (apparently by the sender) above the wreath to left and right: 'When this you see, Remember me, / And bear me in your mind, / Let all the world be what they may / Dearest, do thou be Kind!' and a signing off at lower centre: 'From / Your affectionate / Valentine'. Inside, a long prose poem has been written by the sender (probably copied from a source such as a Valentine Writer), the date at upper right: 'February the 14 1854', and beginning: 'O! who can tell the heart's emotion / Who can well the power reveal ...'. A blind stamp on the paper at lower centre: 'BARTSCH'. The name has not been identified among the known publishers and manufacturers of valentines and the paper may have been imported from Germany, where many greetings cards were manufactured during the late-nineteenth century up until the outbreak of WW1. 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.
