Oh! Missee ...
Publisher: Dobbs, Henry
White lace-paper; a design of entwining flowers and curtain.
At the centre, an embossed, cut-paper figure of a black African slave, hand-coloured in black and with eyes painted in white gouache. A cut-paper skirt of white paper with watercolour, vertical pink stripes is applied to the figure which stands on a hand-painted area of green.
Verse handwritten in blue ink below the figure as prescribed 'speech': 'Oh! Missee, Me lub you so berry / much, me long to make you happy'.
A partial stamp at lower centre is recognisable as relating to Dobbs, Kidd & Co: 'D[...] & Co'. A watermark is only partially decipherable: 'J WHATMAN / 187[?6]'.
A handwritten inscription on the verso: 'Mrs Hodgson / Valentine's day / 187[6 overwritten]7'. See also P.14376-R which bears graphite inscription in same hand, 'Nellie Hodgson' which is overwritten in a different hand in pen and ink, 'Nellie Hodgson / February 14th 1876'.
