Undying Love Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
On the recto of the back flyleaf. A small valentine of white embossed card with flowers and gilt detailing with woodblock-printed colour in blue, pink and green. A printed title and verse at the centre: 'UNDYING LOVE / Forget thee! Bid the forest birds / Forget their sweetest tune. / Forget thee! Dare the sun to / shine - / Or check the silvery moon: / Bid thirsty flowers forget to drink / The eve's refreshing dew; / Thyself forget thine own dear / land, / Its mountains wild and blue. / Forget each old familiar face, / Each long-remembered spot - / Forget all these - but not till then / Shalt thou be once forgot.'. To each corner is affixed a small rectangle of monochrome lithographed London landmarks; 'New Houses of Parlt.'; 'Guildhall'; 'London Stone'; 'Westminster Abbey'.
