A hand-coloured lithograph on white wove paper with a cut-out figure of a woman singing from a sheet of music held in her right hand. The cut-out lifts to reveal the woman with the head and paws of a cat. A printed verse below: MUSIC HATH CHARMS TO SOOTH THE SAVAGE BREAST / How vain of your singing you are to be sure, / And your neighbours I fancy have much to endure, / For they say that you squall like a half crazy cat, / Only twenty times worse you are, even than that." 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. ...'. This group of valentines was bought in 1923-24 from the bookseller, R.S. Frampton who was based at "Walton House", 37 Fonthill Road, Finsbury Park, London, N4. A Frampton sale catalogue from this date (No. 34) found in boxes containing Glaisher's valentines has lot 590 cut out from it. See P.14527-R. This fact can be verified by cross-referencing with an identical but complete book catalogue found among Glaisher's valentines, with the listing for lot 590 intact.
