Album of valentine cards
Publisher: Unknown
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Album with slate-blue cloth covers and loose grey leaves attached by a metal ring-binder mechanism. Graphite inscription at upper left corner of front end paper: "127". This album is mentioned in a letter from Glaisher to Miss Catherine Parsons in which they discuss the arrangement of the valentines in the albums provided by Glaisher: '... I give way entirely to your view tht [that] there is no inconvenience or anything unsatisfactory in having the valentines longways in the books and I think it is much better to put them in the existing books, and have them displayed longways. (The loose leaf album was originally made with dark brown leaves, but I did not like them & chose the lighter colour. I have the dark brown leaves but I do not think you will want to use them.)'. Fitzwilliam Museum, MS 891-1985, 9th September, 1924, letter to Miss Catherine Parsons. CONTENTS: Contains 53 valentine cards, 34 of which were displayed in the exhibition, _For ever thine: the nineteenth century valentine_, held in the Charrington Print Room at the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1995.
