Printed Ephemera — 1841-1860
Card, valentine card
Small sample valentine's card with a lace paper top sheet embossed with a design incorporating flowers, urns and plants. At the top is a semi-circular shaped panel cameo embossed with an image of a marriage ceremony. This decoration forms a border around a central plain, roundel on which is handwritten '251' probably referring to wholesaler's stock details. One of six cards applied to a sheet of paper handwritten with Jonathan King's original notes 'I believe to be Kershaw's Wilderness Row Clerkenwell page 79'. This is a sample card only and would have been handfinished and coloured prior to retailing.
