Registered under number 8032, this stereograph card titled "When love is young" carries the name of E.W. Kelley and dates to about 1906. Its caption-card tracings file it under sentimental and humorous courtship scenes, a subject that suited viewers who held a hand-held stereoscope to their eyes and expected a small, staged story. Stereo cards had been a household staple since the 1850s, but by the early 1900s postcards and cheaper cameras were drawing audiences away, so surviving examples like this one show how durable the genre's appeal remained. The record's details are unverified, so the exact circumstances of its making are not documented.
