It is Divine to Love, But if We Can't; What Then? Vinegar Valentine's Card, c1875. Shows woman depicted in black bearing a tray laden in food and drink. Bears following lines of verse:

'Bitter ale and chops, how very nice,
Such dainties ought to melt a heart of ice,
And yet dear girl I can't make up my mind,
To love you, for in you no charm I find.'
