IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215195 accession number: P.14416-R-50 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A lithograph with hand colouring on 8vo-size thin, white wove paper. A hand-coloured lithographed border of stylised sculptural elements and a flaming heart surrounds a scene of putti flying around a circular temple with emblems of love; a flaming torch, a heart, a ring. A couple approach from the left and Cupid's quiver and bow lie in the foreground beside a shrine at the far right. 'No 24' is lithographed at the lower right of the image, indicating that this design is one of a series. Two verses are printed in a sloping script above and below the central image: 'On this missive, fair and bright, / View the Temple of delight / Cupids round the porch are winging - / Each his votive offering bringing ...'. The interior is blank. One of a series of similar designs in the same style which are mounted on consecutive leaves of album P.14416-R. A hand-written inscription on the album leaf below: '2/6 [2 shillings sixpence]'. This pricing was probably transcribed from the 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), where P.14416-R-50 is listed and priced at 2/6. 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.
