Beschreibung
A pair of Regency cut pictures Both on red ground, the former depicting a lady putting out a cat and the latter depicting a gentleman feeding a pony, both in later frames, 28.9cm wide overall, 23cm high overall (2) Footnotes: Provenance - Alistair Sampson Elizabeth Cobbold née Knipe (1764-1824) was known for her interests in the fields of literature, arts and science but is best remembered for her paper-cut Valentines. In 1806 Elizabeth and her husband, John Cobbold (1745-1835), hosted the first of their St Valentine's Day Balls, which were to become a mainstay of the local social calendar for the next twenty years. Elizabeth made papercut Valentines for unmarried guests. They were cut from a doubled piece of paper to create two copies. At the end of the Ball, all the ones for ladies were put in one basket and all the ones for gentlemen were put in another. The unmarried members of the group were then called up one-by-one to draw a Valentine, in the hope of selecting a 'match'. Each person drew out a picture and the pair who drew the same picture were officially a St. Valentine's couple, simply decided by fate. This gave much amusement to the gathered party. A collection of Elizabeth's paper-cut valentines were exhibited at The Cobbold Family History Trust's exhibition at Glemham Hall, Suffolk in 2008.
