[Vinegar Valentine.]

[Vinegar Valentine.]Although a Lion you appear, [/] You're more than half an Ass I hear.

[n.d., c.1850.]
Tinted lithograph. Sheet: 165 x 110mm (6½ x 4¼").
A cruel Victorian valentine, poking fun at a man shown with a cigar and a cane. Vinegar Valentines are rather unflattering and often insulting; some addressed to trades and professions, perhaps given to customers to their suppliers, rather than true valentines.
[Ref: 43808]  £30.00
