Card, valentine card

Comic valentine's card printed as a woodcut on cheap paper with a caricature of a man holding a tube labeled 'poison.' The print is crudely coloured and below is printed a verse, 'I feel in my heart a most painful smart. Which I can no longer endure; Then pray try your skill--you can if you will, Prescribe for the writer a cure. There's many have strove this pain to remove, Like quacks they have all made me worse; Oh! such my complaint I sigh and am faint, The disorder you know then of course.' 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.
