A carpenter carves a heart out of wood. He holds a hammer and awl, and a saw, chisels, and triangle are on the bench behind him., Text: Oh, why is gentle love / A stranger to that mind! / Which pity and esteem can move-- / Which can be just and kind., "91", Provenance: McAllister, John A. (John Allister), 1822-1896, collector.
A bent-backed carpenter is using a plane. His pants are mended with a patch and his nose is red and dripping. A saw, chisel, hammer and other tools are on the floor of his shop., Text: Come, stand erect and plain away, my beau of sawdust, chips and shavings, / St. Valentine’s, that happy day, is hastening round to ease your ravings; / Then don’t be downcast, see above, a sketch I’ve made of your sweet features / Then come and wed, with love for love, we’ll prove to all, we’re Cupid’s Creatures., Provenance: Helfand, William H..
