DEAN & MUNDAY
A hand-coloured lithograph with a printed blue paperlace border by Dean & Munday, depicting a picturesqe cottage in a country lane with a flying cherub bearing a flaming heart and the words 'Tis Mine', the printed verse above and below reads 'Oh say, thou dear possessor of my breast/Where's now my boasted liberty & rest?/Where the gay moments that I once have known?/O! where the heart I fondly thought my own?/When from thy sight I waste a tedious day/A thousand schemes I form or things to say/But when thy presence gives the time I seek/My heart's so full, I wish, but cannot speak!', backed at a later date, 10 x 8in, mounted, c. 1840.
