Card, valentine card

Comic valentine's card printed as a woodcut on cheap paper with a caricature of an egg with arms and legs, imprinted with the word, 'BAD.' The print is crudely coloured and below is printed a verse, 'You're a "bad egg!" that all admit, And up to every practice vile; There's not a vice you don't commit, Yet look so neat and clean the while. We'd like to crack your shining shell, We know you're rotten thro' and thro'; To throw you in the swill-cart foul, Is just the thing I'd like to do!' One of a collection of sample comic valentines bound in a single volume, stored within a wooden case. On the spine of the case is a label 'Comic'. One of a series of valentine's cards relating to various trades.
