When Love Is Young" is a title that sets the mood right away, pointing to new romance and the hopeful side of courtship. Images with this kind of sentimental theme were produced in large numbers as Valentine's Day cards and illustrations grew popular in the United States in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Such pieces were meant to be sent, shared, or displayed, so their appeal rested on simple, familiar emotion rather than detailed storytelling. Much of this style relied on idealized figures and well-known symbols to say what was hard to put into words.
