Card, valentine card

Comic valentine's card printed as a woodcut on cheap paper with a caricature of a woman looking in a mirror. The print is crudely coloured and below is printed a verse, 'Sweet ladies' maid, make not thyself an ass, Nor con thy monkey-face in looking glass; To females I've no wish to be uncivil, But really you're as ugly as the devil. Your waist is like a butt, and then behind, Bavarian broom girls you recall to mind; And, then, such gummy feet--Oh! pray retire! Instead of love, disgust you but inspire!' 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'.
