Catalogued as VAL-15, this item belongs to a numbered run of Valentine's Day images, and its designation suggests it was one of many similar pieces made for the holiday. Valentine's cards became a mass-produced custom in the United States and Britain during the 19th century, when lithography made sentimental imagery affordable to send between friends and sweethearts. Details such as lettering, borders and dress often reveal the decade a card was made.
