DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Lace-paper with a central oval-shaped panel which is hand-decorated with a mid-blue paper backing encircled by a cut-paper border of ivy leaves around a trellis with metallic hand colouring. Inside the panel are a pair of brightly painted cut-paper birds which have been printed and then coloured by hand. They form part of a collage of cut-paper foliage and dried twigs and leaves arranged around a cut-out paper, hand-coloured nest. A hand-painted inscription in white paint: "Fly not farther / for a happy home". A chromolithographed wreath of flowers at lower centre which frames a roundel bearing the hand-written inscription: "Love's Entreaty". Cut-paper foliage to either side. DOBBS, KIDD & CO blind-embossed at lower centre (visible from the verso). The inside of the card is blank. A hand-written inscription in graphite on the album leaf below P.14344-R-1 and adjacent to P.14344-R-2 states: "Price 1 /= each c.1850". N.B. /= denotes shillings. The hand has been identified as belonging to Glaisher's friend, local Antiquarian, Catherine Parsons (1890-1956), who arranged and assembled his valentine albums in 1924. Her hand is seen elsewhere throughout album P.14344-R. The firm of Henry Dobbs traded as Dobbs, Kidd & Co. from 1851 into the 1890s.
