IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 214606 accession number: P.14410-R-31 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Hand-coloured lithograph on 4to-size white wove paper with an embossed border. An illuminated letter 'D' printed in dark blue and gold metallic inks. At the centre is an image of a lady holding a letter in her hand and a gentleman on a path in the background. Verse printed around the central image: "Is it weakness thus to dwell / On passion that I dare not tell ...". The inside pages are blank. A clipping from a sale catalogue is affixed to the album leaf: "[384] - Another, Chippendale style, Georgian Period, 4to, ... 18s 6d / The only "Chippendale" example I have ever seen , and an early specimen of coloured lithography." 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. 11. A graphite number "11" is written onto the album leaf in the lower right-hand corner, which corresponds to the numbering of the catalogue. 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.
