Catalogued as VAL-28 and grouped under the Applewood heading within the Valentine's Day collection, this picture is identified mainly by its code and series, since its record offers no details about the scene, maker, or date. Its meaning is easiest to understand in context. Valentine's Day became a widespread occasion in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when mass-produced cards and small keepsakes let families and friends exchange affection on a shared date. Images from that period are valued for showing how ordinary people marked the holiday in their homes and communities.
