| Description |
The woman bookworker holds a bone folder, a polished bone tool for creasing paper. A stack of papers lies near her hand, and
a press is visible in the background. A cover sheet is on the table that reads " Elton's Alnanac [i.e., Almanac]." In the
text, "calf" refers to a calf-skin binding.

| Notes |
Text: No paper token, "lovely dear," / Could please you half so well, / As the signatures and folios / Of some young and brainless
swell,-- / And if the wish'd for hour shall come, / I venture to opine, / You'll have a work full bound in calf, / For your
dear Valentine.
