Valentine Card
File
Single page comic valentine card printed as a woodcut. It has been coloured-in by hand. Depicts a a human figure made entirely of plants, leaves and flowers. Below, written in verse is "About you it is plainly seen, That there is always something green, Your head is like a pot of mould As full of dirt as I've been told; Of the flowers that you're most like, The Dandelion first doth strike; You have its sickly yellow hue, And likewise stink as nasty too, And of that flower it is said It much affects your acts in bed, In Bed I much suspect tis true That that is all that you can do." Published in London by Marks [& Sons].
