A PARK LONDON
A hand-coloured lithographed valentine card with central picture of a man reclining against a tree and cupid flying towards him with a letter, verse reads 'What means my minds perturbed state,/My bosom's throbbing glow,/Why cares conflicting palpitate,/And varying sorrows flow./Love that with power unconstrained,/Still follows as I flee,/And love all powerful & unfeigned,/Still points that love to me' - 10 x 8in, circa 1840
