The title, "and sometimes.... sister72," is the most distinctive detail the record gives, with its trailing ellipsis suggesting an unfinished thought or an affectionate aside. The picture sits under Applewood in the Valentine's Day group, which points to a sentimental card or keepsake, though the record does not say more. Printed valentines became popular in the nineteenth century, when people used them to send affection to sweethearts, friends and family, including siblings. Pieces like this are worth reading slowly, since the wording often carries as much meaning as the image.
