Handfinished comic and cruel valentine's card comprising a single sheet of white card printed with the message 'As you are bent on matrimony I send you a few little matters for your consideration'. Above the message is applied a cut out, handcoloured drawing on card illustrating an array of cosmetics including life pills, hair dye, rouge, teeth and a wig box. This decoration flaps down to reveal a handcoloured sketch of an old woman applying hair dye. Comic and insulting cards like this were collected by Jonathan King, who sold valentine's cards in his stationers shop on the Essex road in Islingon.
