DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: A boxed valentine. A valentine contained inside a shallow white cardboard box with a lid. Heavy pink card with an embossed flower design border and central padded roundel of white silk with pink frame and embroidered centre of violet and forget me nots hanging from a pink silk ribbon attached to the card with a brass split pin. A pink silk ribbon bow is affixed at centre left. At lower centre is a embossed rose stem and butterfly design in gold with hand colouring and motto: 'Love / to my / Valentine'. Dots of silver frosting are applied throughout. Inside, a double sheet of white wove paper is tied into the card with the pink ribbon. On the left-hand inside page; a lithographed image of three birds in a hedgerow with 'To' and 'From' set out below. On the right-hand inside page; a lithographed verse: 'True Affection to my Sweet / Valentine. / A wish sincere/ To one held dear / A thought in tender greeting, / A sweet caress / And happiness / Until our next glad meeting. / W.E.M.'. The lid of the box bears a handwritten address in uppercase letters and black ink: 'DR. GLAISHER / TRINITY COLLEGE / CAMBRIDGE'. The base of the box is inscribed in graphite on the verso with the date, '1826', although this is misleading, as the box and its contents most likely date from the 1920s.
