IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215101 accession number: P.14414-R-110 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A tinted lithograph in red, green, blue, brown and black inks with hand colouring on white wove paper. A lithographed vignette of a couple embracing on a grassy bank, a verse printed below: 'The fountains mingle with the river / And the rivers with the ocean / The winds of heaven, mix forever, / With a sweet commotion. ...'. The poem seems to be a modified version of Shelley's poem, _Love's Philosophy_ (1820). The lithographed image - of grass, flowers and butterflies - is continued below the verse at lower right. Signed at lower right: "E. Gilks del & lith.". The interior is blank. P.14346-R-38 is another example of this design, although the printing of the blue ink in P.14346-R-38 is more intense. P.14414-R-110 is one of a number of designs for valentines by Gilks which are mounted together as a group in album P.14414-R. Other designs by Gilks are contained in album P.14346-R. As Gilks emigrated to Australia in 1852, this design is most likely to have been produced either during Gilks's apprenticeship in London to Thomas Dean, between 1836-1843 or between 1844-1850 when he was in partnership with his brother Thomas, a wood-engraver, based at 4 Fenchurch Building, Fenchurch, London. 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.
