A Bunch of fond Affection Valentine card
Publisher: Dobbs, Henry
White lace-paper with 'flag' design and title hand-written in red ink on lace-paper flags at upper left and right: 'A Bunch' ; 'of fond / Affection'. At the centre is a collage of a large bunch of green grapes created from cut-paper and hand-coloured paper and silk leaves. The grapes lift up in sections to reveal a series of hand-written messages in blue ink (in the same style as the work by Dobbs): 'Happy in your presence'; You are dear to me'; 'I love you'; 'Love shall light our way'; 'Cherished by your smiles'; My joy and day star of my life'. Stamped within the embossed design at lower centre: 'DOBBS, KIDD & [CO]'. The interior is blank. Watermark: 'J WHATMA[N] / 1865'. A graphite inscription on the album leaf below: 'Dobbs, Kidd & Co'.
