Card, valentine card
Comic valentine's card printed with a handcoloured caricature portrait of a man lifting a bicycle beside a signpost '20 miles to London'. Below is printed a comic verse 'Bycicle Mania; wretched efl, You can't guide one nor guide yourself; You such an Exhibition show, No girl would think of you, I know, Velosipeding you may try, You smashed up, battered, tattered, guy, As an idiot they should you confine, Who'd fancy such a Valentine'.
