Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
Comic Valentine. A tinted lithograph printed in two colours (black and red ink) on a long sheet of folded thin, wove paper; a format known as a 'long comic'. An image of a young woman, fashionably dressed (circa 1900) wearing a hat marked "1'0¾" and holding a fancy hat in her left hand marked "Only £5". A printed verse below: "It's always struck me as very / strange, / That a Milliner's girl though you be, / You should not want to wear a nice hat for a change, / For you always look shabby to me." The style of this Valentine suggests that it probably dates from the 1900s. Compare with P.14345-R-85 and P.14345-R-86 and P.14345-R-90.
