Few Valentine's Day pictures are as quiet as this one, which swaps the usual cupids and hearts for two women strolling through a park. The title, *To My Valentine*, suggests it was meant to be sent or given as a greeting, a common practice in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when illustrated and photographic cards were popular for February 14. Scenes of friendship and everyday leisure were often used to express affection that a sender might not state outright. What stands out here is how the pairing of the title with an ordinary walk turns a casual moment into a message of devotion.
