IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 215589 accession number: P.14627-R DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Tuesday 14 February 2017 updated: Thursday 6 January 2022 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: A small cutwork valentine on white laid paper, folded in half with a panel of green silk inserted inside double-folded paper at the left side. The paper is cut around the panel in an arch with small circular perforations and scalloped design around the edges. The silk panel is mounted, in landscape format, with delicate cutwork silhouettes in silver and gold paper of a male figure holding a broom and a female figure at a writing desk?. The winged figure of Cupid holding an arrow hovers above them. Trees are affixed to either side (with losses at the far right). The opposite leaf is folded and cut away with a cutwork design of winged hearts. A handwritten verse in brown ink is pasted on a strip of paper beneath and seems to relate to the theme of the cutwork picture: 'ALL distant conversation amongst men, / Depends on the perfection of the Penn / By it we hear if distant Friends be well / By it our own Infirmities we tell / By it our God his just Commandments gave / It doth defend the just, and bind the Knave / By it we may some better Lines Indite / Pray Girl sweep clean and let's sit down to Write'. One of six cutwork valentines of a similar design, all with silk panels, silhouetted cutwork pictures and with cutwork mottoes/emblems. title: Valentine card LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Paintings, Drawings and Prints creditline: Given by the Revd Herbert Bull, M.A., 1917-11-08 STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/215589 TECHNIQUES ---------- applied textile TECHNIQUES ---------- cut-paper work CATEGORIES ------ category: print DATING ------ culture: 18th Century CREATORS -------- maker: Unknown IMAGES surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/P_14627_R_1_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 874 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/mid_P_14627_R_1_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 586 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/P_14627_R_1_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 874 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/preview_P_14627_R_1_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 293 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/P_14627_R_2_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 738 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/mid_P_14627_R_2_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 360 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/P_14627_R_2_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 738 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/preview_P_14627_R_2_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 180 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/P_14627_R_3_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 496 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/mid_P_14627_R_3_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 242 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/P_14627_R_3_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 496 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/preview_P_14627_R_3_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 121 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/P_14627_R_4_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 902 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/mid_P_14627_R_4_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 568 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/P_14627_R_4_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 902 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/pdp/pdp77/preview_P_14627_R_4_201704_amt49_dc2.jpg height: 284 pixels width: 250 pixels
