IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215529 accession number: P.14584-R DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Tuesday 10 July 2018 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A 32mo-size valentine of white embossed paper (as lace) with a central hand-coloured lithograph of a young woman in parkland beside a pond, feeding a swan. A lithographed verse above and below the image: 'Sweet thoughts are mine / Sweet thoughts of thee / Oh, would love that thine / Were devoted to me'. MANSELL stamped at lower left. A sheet of very thin, coated paper has been folded and one side pasted to the verso, the other functioning as the back paper. The interior is blank. P.14584-R was contained along with seven other valentines inside a brown envelope addressed on the recto to, 'Dr. J.W.L. Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge, England', a return address given at upper left: 'From / ?L[Z?].M. Franklin / 104 West 39th St[reet] / Baltimore'. Glaisher's friend, the American mathematician, Professor William Woolsey Johnson (1841-1927) lived in Baltimore and Glaisher visited him and his wife on many occasions from the 1880s up to 1916. L.M. or Z.M. Franklin is unknown and may have been an art dealer or second-hand book-seller whom Glaisher met during his trips to Baltimore. Julia Poole has documented Glaisher's friendship with Johnson and his trips to America. See Poole's essay, 'Dr J.W.L. Glaisher, The making of a great collection', in Michael Archer, _Delftware in the Fitzwilliam Museum_ (2013), p. xvi and n. 25, p. xxvi.
