Hand-coloured lithograph on card of white wove paper with an embossed border. A caricature of a greengrocer with an over-sized head, carrying a basket filled with vegetables on his left arm. He holds a bunch of carrots in his right hand which moves up and down when a paper tab at the bottom of the card is pulled. A verse at lower centre: "For you old carrots I don't care a straw, / So reddish your nose by the drink, / Your eyes like two turnips as I ever saw, / Which is quite the greengrocer I think."

This card was included in the exhibition of valentine cards, _For ever thine: the nineteenth century valentine_, held in the Charrington Print Room at the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1995, no. 72. From a series of moveable valentines which were possibly made by Windsor & Sons (the same mark is seen on another example from the same series, P.14412-R-43). The Glaisher collection contains six of these, four of which are mounted inside album P.14412-R on the same or adjacent album leaf. This card and one other (P.14399-R) were included in the 1995 Fitzwilliam exhibition, _For ever thine: the nineteenth century valentine_, but were originally mounted inside P.14412-R with the other cards from the series. This valentine was one of 12 included in the exhibition about J.W.L. Glaisher as collector, _James Whitbread Lee Glaisher ScD, FRS (1848-1928) Mathematician and Collector_, held in the Octagon Gallery at the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1999, Case 9. The selection repeated that of the 1995 exhibition. title: Valentine card LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Paintings, Drawings and Prints creditline: Bequeathed by Dr J.
