IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 214603 accession number: P.14410-R-28 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Water-colour painting on a large sheet of wove paper to which is affixed a smaller double frame of white lace-paper (4to size). The watercolour, a three-quarter length portrait of a young woman with dark hair, pinning a pink rose behind her ear is viewed through a yellow gauze blind attached to the back of the top sheet. The gauze blind is mounted with a collage of cut-paper and hand-coloured flowers, foliage and a hummingbird with a real feather tail. Very similar in style to P.14410-R-24. A clipping from a sale catalogue is affixed to the album leaf: "18 - ANOTHER SPECIMEN, very fine, full 4to size, ... 12s 6d ...". The clipping is possibly from a catalogue of the bookseller R.S. Frampton who was based at "Walton House", 37 Fonthill Road, Finsbury Park, London, N4. Four of Frampton's catalogues dating from the mid 1920s were found in boxes containing Glaisher's valentines and Glaisher bought many valentines from Frampton during this period. The lot number does not tally with the listings of valentines in these catalogues, but could be related to a different sale. Glaisher also bought valentines from the Clapham bookseller, John Salkeld and the Actons of Brighton. 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. 36. A graphite number "36" is written onto the album leaf in the lower right-hand corner, which corresponds to the numbering of the catalogue. Possibly by Henry Dobbs.
