DescriptionFolded paper valentine card. Handcoloured print. It depicts an ugly woman saying "O Crikey aint I got one non and a good un too" and holding a mop and valentine card. Underneath is an 8 line poem: "Lovely squeesemop hear my sighs. Think of the woes which I endure, My heart before you bleeding lies, 'Tis you alone the wound can cure, Oh when I gaze upon thy face, And think of all thy charms divine, All other thought to thee give place, Now wont you be my Valentine".
