IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215058 accession number: P.14414-R-67 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A white lace-paper front mounted onto the album leaf. A title is lithographed in blue ink at upper centre: 'The Hymeneal Arms'. Below is a circular, embossed cut-paper shield surmounted with a lithographed candle and radiating light. A motto is printed in gold within the surrounding border: 'COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE THEM.'. The shield is divided into four sections with lithographed colours, gold, blue, red and silver and each containing an embossed, lithographed motif: cooking pot; tea-cup; laundry; kettle. A gold cradle is positioned at the centre. Below the shield is a collage of cut-paper and hand-coloured flowers and leaves around a gilt-edged, cut-paper scroll with lithographed title: 'The Single Married and The Married Happy'. 'DOBBS' is stamped at lower centre. A watermark is visible through the paper at lower centre: 'M[A]N'. Presumably 'Whatman'. Comparison with another example of the same design held at the Museum of London (34.170/479) indicates that there have been small losses to the collage above the scroll of P.14414-R-67. The Museum of London also holds an example of a variation of the same design (34.170/477 - with cut-paper swag rather than scroll) and a preparatory drawing which details the shape and position of the collage (34.170/480). 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.
