Best Wishes
Comic Valentine's card printed with a black and white engraving of an old man holding a baby and the message, printed in red, 'Best Wishes Why does a man look old sooner than a woman?'. Inside is printed a verse 'With solemn warning Oh once I was single As happy's a bee, Now I'm weary, and worn, And sad, as you see. Oh, friends, take advice, Oh, you, who are free When you feel like to marry Just pause - think of me Henpeck'.
