I Languish Valentine card
Publisher: Smith, W
Loose inside the back fly-leaf of album P.14348-R. A lithographed verse titled 'I LANGUISH' is printed on a small 64mo-size rectangle of white paper and mounted onto a small piece of blue wove paper which is folded over along the top edge: 'Wistfully I look and languish / In that lovely face of thine, / And my heart is torn with anguish / Lest thy Love should not be mine.'. Printed at lower left and lower right: 'W Smith Pubr / Memel St Old St London'. See also P.14354-R, which is a different verse using the same design published by Smith and mounted onto a similar piece of blue paper.
