The Rose, the sweetly blooming Rose ...
Printmaker: Unknown
Valentine card of cream laid paper, roughly 8vo size with a lithograph of black ink (uncoloured) of a swag of flowers tied at each end with Cupid's bow and arrow. A verse is printed below: "The Rose, the sweetly blooming Rose, / Ere from the tree its torn, / Is like the charms which Beauty shows, / In Life's exulling morn! … / To Him I Love". Below is a stylised, double-ended cornucopia containing flowers and a heart pierced by an arrow on the left and flowers and a heart with nesting bird on the right. The inside pages are blank. One of a series of cards on cream laid paper with uncoloured lithographs, apparently all later reprints, the designs possibly taken from collections of love poetry published in the early nineteenth century by James Kendrew of York, and mounted in album P.14348-R.
