A hand-coloured lithograph on white wove paper with a cut-out figure of a man wearing a long evening coat, a monocle in his left eye and a top hat on the table behind. The cut-out lifts to reveal the same man in more modest attire sitting writing at a desk. A printed verse below: "Poor ragged, wretched, under paid Clerk, / How you get your fine clothes remains in the dark, / But a night you go out, togged up so fine, / It cannot be done with money of thine, ...". (211) printed below the image. The inside pages are blank. From a series of 15 Valentines with figures which lift to reveal their true characters which were bought at a sale, lot 590. See clipping from sale catalogue pasted to the album leaf below P.14345-R-54: "Coloured Changeable Valentines of the 60's, pubd. by Marks, etc. ..."
