19th Century Caricature Valentine Letter Sheet
A lovely 19th Century Letter Sheet Valentine of a Dandy, dating to circa 1830, with humorous rhyme below. This would have been sent as a Valentine, with predictably devastating results!
The rhyme in full says……
You stupid vain conceited ass,
Why ogle with your quizzing glass,
I'm sure no damsel will incline,
To chuse you for her valentine.
The image has been placed in a card mount to protect it. There is still a trace of dealing wax to the reverse where it would have been sealed.
A wonderful piece of caricature from an era when they excelled at these things!
