IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215280 accession number: P.14417-R-51 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Friday 26 January 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A sachet valentine/Christmas card crossover with mechanical flower. An ornate sachet with embossed and gilt, lace-paper and central oval-shaped, gilt-framed panel decorated with a flower scrap with a mechanically operated convolvulus at the centre. When a paper rod is pulled upwards, the convolvulus is raised to reveal a printed greeting: 'A / Merry Christmas / and / a happy New Year'. A cut-paper chromolithographed butterfly is pasted to the verso of the convolvulus. A hand-written inscription in graphite is located on the album leaf to the right of P.14417-R-51: 'B. Sulman / 40 City Rd. / London E.C.'. The inscription presumably transcribes the maker's name from the verso, which was noted prior to mounting. The hand is not that of Glaisher. 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.
