DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Loose within album P.14347-R. A single sheet of white wove paper with an embossed border (torn in places). The sheet originally had a back paper, now lost (its removal is indicated along the left edge). A central hand-coloured lithograph shows a top-hatted gentleman handing a letter to Cupid who hovers above a cloud, a pair of doves within. A church and a circular temple are seen in the background. A door cut into the paper around the gentleman opens to reveal a woman in a blue dress standing in the garden seen on the right. The image, on a small rectangle of paper, is pasted onto the verso. A decorative geometric banderole border design with acanthus details ornamented with peacocks, flaming hearts and putti. A printed verse within the border at lower centre: "Oh yes my heart is thine my love. / I may not say thee nay; …". DOBBS embossed at lower centre. On the verso is a hand-written verse (seven stanzas long) in brown ink entitled: "To my dear valentine …" and signed "Henry". The verse was most likely copied from a Valentine Writer. The paper has crease marks which indicate that it has been folded several times to form a small square. P.14346-R-21 uses the same device of a door cut into the paper to reveal an image behind with the image pasted onto the verso of the inside page.
