A small footbridge sits at the center of this scene, with a woman coming toward a man from the far end, the moment of meeting caught in the caption's wording. Its title suggests a courtship in a garden or park setting, a theme illustrators returned to often in magazines of the period. The drawing was made in wash, a technique that uses diluted ink or paint to build soft tones, which made it suited to reproduction in periodicals like *Harper's* in 1902. Its romantic, pastoral mood fits the sentimental taste of turn-of-the-century readers.
