Applewood is the only place name the record gives, so this picture belongs to a local Valentine's Day view rather than a famous event. The holiday's customs in America grew up gradually, and by the late 1800s, printed cards with lace, paper hearts and sentimental verses were sold widely, with Esther Howland of Worcester, Massachusetts, often credited with making them commercially. Pictures like this one show how a small community marked February 14 in its own streets, homes or gatherings. Look at the clothing, the decorations and the setting for clues to when it was taken.
