A sepia postcard of a young couple posed around a typewriter invites a story about courtship and correspondence before the age of instant messages. The typewriter is the detail that sets this picture apart from the many embracing couples on the board: it places the pair in an era when a love letter was typed, folded and posted, and when a typewriter in a home was a notable piece of equipment. Sepia toning and studio postcard formats were popular in the early twentieth century, so the image reflects both the romantic conventions of the period and the photographic methods used to mass-produce such cards. Look closely at the pose and props to see how the sitters presented themselves as modern and affectionate at once.
