Valentine Card
File
Comic valentine comprising a woodcut image of an engraver at work and smoking a pipe. It has been coloured by hand.The poem reads "An Engraver, you may be by trade, But withal you're a curious blade, Whose rule every night is to goto bed tight, That the bllon on you're nose may ne'er fade. Chop away, cut and butcher your block, Never listen again for a knock, For you in my eyes, I loath and despise As the ugliest sheep in the flock."
