Rain-soaked grass frames the two figures here, who lie side by side in a tender, unhurried pose that sets this illustration apart from the stiffer, posed couples common on this board. Painted illustrations like this one were widely reproduced in the Victorian period, when printed pictures of courtship and sentiment were popular in magazines, greeting cards and gift books. Sentimental scenes such as this often drew on the era's taste for romantic landscape and nature as a backdrop for emotion. The record gives no artist or date, so the picture is best read as an example of how love and leisure were pictured in the late nineteenth century.
