Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
Comic valentine. A hand coloured woodcut of a man and woman on thin wove paper. The man has a leering expression and holds a cockerel. The woman appears to be touching the comb of the cockerel. Her ankles are exposed beneath her skirts. The hand colouring is very crudely done. A printed verse below: "Now do but look what have we here - / La! John, but what is it, come near; / (cut out and stuck onto the paper to the right of the first two lines) Your up to playing some fine trick, / Get out, and cut your stick." Almost certainly printed by S. Marks & Sons. Compare P.14345-R-16.
