Won't Misses jump when she wakes to find Pussy and Kittens under her Crinoline". Reverse is blank. Measures 12" x 8 1/2". No OCLC or other online reference (August 2018). The crinoline, an oft mocked undergarment became a subject matter portrayed by S. Marks & Sons in the same manner as the vinegar valentine.
