[Vinegar Valentine.] You'd like to be a Swell, I see, [/] But really it won't do; [/] The right is whay you wish to be, [/] The left, my love, is you! [/] No. 30.
[n.d., c.1840.]
Coloured wood engraving. Sheet 220 x 185mm (8¾ x 7¼").
A vinegar valentine featuring a man with two faces, one good-looking, the other grotesque. 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.
