Its title, *To your health, my sweet love*, reads like a toast between two sweethearts, and the caption card lists courtship and music as its themes. Dated about 1893, it is catalogued as a photographic print, possibly a reproduction of a painting, with copyright credited to F. Andreotti. Scenes like this were widely copied in the 1890s, when photomechanical reproductions carried paintings into homes far beyond the galleries where the originals hung.
