IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215213 accession number: P.14416-R-68 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A lithograph with hand colouring on white wove paper. A lithographed border of a mock picture frame with reeded horizontals and verticals and baroque mouldings at the corners surrounds a second lozenge-shaped 'frame' at the centre which contains a hand-coloured scene of a couple being led by Cupid who stands between them holding their hands. A church spire rises from trees in the distance on the right. A verse is printed above the image: 'Linked in Cupid's roseate Chain / We shall never part again / But in Hymen's balmy borders / gaily spend the happy hours / Revelling in a world of bliss / Oh! what joy can equal this. [sic]'. The interior is blank. One of eight valentines from the same series which are mounted onto consecutive leaves of album P.14416-R. A hand-written inscription in graphite on the album leaf below P.14416-R-66 indicates that each was bought for 1 shilling and 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), which records the first line of one of the eight followed by the price: 'To you my souls [sic] affection move [P.14416-R-72] & 7 other similar (8) for 12/0'. The '7 other similar' cards from the group of eight can be identified as: P.14416-R-66, P.14416-R-67, P.14416-R-68, P.14416-R-69, P.14416-R-70, P.14416-R-71 and P.14416-R-73. 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.
