Description: | Valentine poem with coloured engraving. Shows a lady in early 19th Century style pink and white dress, with fan and hat with a feather in it. She is standing in a garden, a man in striped trousers and blue tail coat is kneeling on one knee, holding her hand and presumably proposing. Church is visible in landscape behind them. Below is a verse which reads 'Long have I impressed my suit in vain, and your affections sought to gain, Oh! do not hold me in suspense, but grant my love some recompense, to yonder sacred place I'll lead you now, and there confirm my oft-repeated vow.' | Subjects: | Customs | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
