The same old story" is the title on this c1907 photoprint, which the Harris Photo Post Card Co. issued as a photographic postcard. Its unverified caption card lists courtship and love, swings, and rear views, which suggests a lightly teasing scene of a couple seen from behind. Photo postcards like this were popular in the early 1900s, and sentimental images of sweethearts were a natural fit for Valentine's Day, when a few printed words could say what a letter might not.
