Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
A valentine front mounted onto a sheet of white wove paper which has been folded in half to form a back paper and watermarked: A P / 1822. The lithographic design (as etching) features a border of roses and strapwork scrolls with some handcolouring and a central, hand-coloured oval containing a couple embracing whilst seated on a grassy bank (coloured brown), a church tower seen in the background on the right. A lithographed verse is printed above and below the central scene: 'To share together every joy / To have no wish but one ... / To be both blessing, and be blest, / Such are the joys of Love.'. The interior is blank. A price written in graphite on the verso at uper left: '3/- [3 shillings]'.
