Valentine card
Publisher: Dobbs, Henry
A valentine of embossed white lace-paper with an open musical score with lithographed detail of musical staves and verse: 'With / Tenderness / but sprightly / 'Oh! / I should like to marry, / if that I could find any little / partner suited to my mind'. A guitar of gilt, embossed cut-paper with blue ribbon attached is affixed over the score. Two collages of embossed and hand-coloured leaves and flowers with hand-painted foliage are arranged above and below the music. DOBBS & CO is 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. Inscribed on the inside left-hand page and on the verso with the price: '2/6 [2 shillings and sixpence]'.
