Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
Comic valentine. A hand-coloured woodcut on very thin wove paper. The hand-colouring is crudely executed. A male figure with bandy legs and an over-sized head with pimples on chin and nose. A printed verse below: "Pretty beast, where 'ere you go, / Every one will point we know, / Bear leg'd beauty, senseless quiz - ...". The inside pages are blank. From a series of comic figures. 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. 71.
