Across a small footbridge, a woman walks toward a man who waits at the far end, and the title captures that moment of approach. The drawing is a wash, a technique in which diluted tones are brushed over pen or pencil work, and American magazine artists relied on it around 1902. Harper's was among the most widely read monthlies of the period, and pictures like this one accompanied stories, so the bridge would have served as a quiet stage for courtship within a larger narrative.
