VALENTINE. HE LOVES HER. 1992.

Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1992
21.0 x 8cm, 2pp. A valentine’s day card with several images of a flower with the petals slowly being lost until the last has gone leaving only the stalk. Much like a lover may decline a traditional question associated with valentine’s day the words he loves her/he loves her not are repeated in turn until the petals have all gone. A final flower here with all the petals unplucked however rescues the day and the card announces “he loves her”.
There was a companion card that reverses the gender of the words also released by Finlay at the same time. The drawing was by Gary Hincks. VG+
