IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215178 accession number: P.14416-R-33 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A hand-coloured lithograph on white wove paper with a verse addressed to a neglectful lover. A border of entwining vines form an arch around a hand-coloured lithograph of an embracing couple, the man reading from a book, and a church seen in the background at the far right. A bird bearing a letter in its beak approaches at upper right. A lithographed verse below: 'Love cannot bear neglect's shrill blast, scorn quickly pales its wonted fires / When once it brilliancy is past, it struggles, but it cannot last, ... Dearest, this hint is meant for you, thy bosom is my votive shrine: / Preserve then, dear, a flame so true, glowing with firm affection's hue, / And fed by faithful love from thine.'. A hand-written inscription on the album leaf below: '1/= [1 shilling]'. This presumably records a price from the verso which was visible prior to mounting, although this pricing could also have been transcribed from a handwritten MS by second-hand bookseller, R.S. Frampton found on the back fly-leaf of album P.14416-R. (See P.14416-R-L1). P.14416-R-33 is listed in the Frampton MS as one of '2 valentines for 2/0'. It can probably be assumed that the second valentine mentioned here is P.14416-R-37, which is comparable in design and style and uses the same verse. 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.
