Valentine with image of a chicken dressed in women's clothes and a cupid aiming a bow and arrow at her. In the background are a couple dancing. Poem printed at bottom. One sheet mounted.
"Pray pretty Miss Bantam dont be chicken hearts/Twod'd be a foul deed, you and I should be parted/I'm a natty young farmer, like you, got a crop/So good that the question this year I may pop/ And I'll lay a nice egg now, that you now will inclined to be my sweet chick and my own Valentine". -
