IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 214550 accession number: P.14385-R DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Wednesday 3 February 2021 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Large 8vo-size cream wove paper with an embossed outer border and hand-coloured pink edge. An inner border of hand-painted pink and blue flowers and leaves with overlaid lithographed detail in gold ink. A lithographed motto in gold ink at lower centre: 'LOVE'. A puzzle purse is affixed at the centre and decorated with a hand-painted design of a garland of pink roses and purple thistles tied together with a pink bow and with the painted motto: 'LOVE'. The puzzle purse opens to reveal a hand-painted flower design cut into a 'cobweb' device with a thread to lift and reveal a hand-painted scene of white dove and shrine. Handwritten verses and numbers are written around the interior of the puzzle purse in (faded) ink. 'DOBBS PATENT' stamped at lower centre. The backing paper is two thirds missing. On the verso: "1821" written in graphite. The card has been folded several times (presumably for delivery). Similar in design to P.14386-R and P.14410-R-8, which are also Dobbs Patent puzzle purse cards. P.14392-R, P.14410-R-12, P.14414-R-23, also Dobbs Patent cards, have the same embossed border design and P.14410-R-12 and P.14414-R-23 also employ gold ink. In fact, a letter from Glaisher to Miss Catherine Parsons dated 28 July 1927 (Fitzwilliam Museum Archive, MS 1138-1985) reveals that this valentine along with P.14386-R, was sent to Glaisher by the dealer, J.C. Acton. (See Virag, _Valentines: Highlights from the Collection at the Fitzwilliam Museum_, 2017, no. 19, p.74 and figs. 35 and 36, pp.76-7. It was noted after the publication went to press that the captions for figs 35 and 36 had been printed below the wrong objects). 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. 25. 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.
