The Rustler's Reformation is a western drama, and its poster presents the story as a Selig production, with a cowboy's change of heart at the center. The color sheet, credited to the New York firm National Pho-Eng. Co. and dated around 1913, was meant to draw crowds to movie houses, where posters like this were displayed in lobbies and storefront windows. The Selig Polyscope Company was among the early studios to build much of its output around westerns, and romance was a standard thread in those films, which is why courtship and love are among the subjects cataloged for this piece. It fits the Valentine's Day theme of this board.
