A large, 4to-size hand-coloured engraving printed in sepia ink on cream laid paper. There is a border of brown wash around the edges of the paper on the recto. A central scene of a sailor in an embrace with his lady. A ship on the sea in the background to the right, bearing the union flag. A church can be seen on the hillside in the distance to the left. Above and to the right, Cupid hovers, preparing to fire an arrow at the couple. Printed below the image: 'F. Bartolozzi R.A. Inv. Delt. et Sculpt'. A verse is printed above and below the central image: 'The distant climes may us divide / To think on you shall be my pride / The Winds and Waves may prove unkind / In me no change you'll ever find. / A Magic Spell will bind me fast / And make me love you to the last / Let Cupid then your Heart incline / To take me for your Valentine.
