Title

In Press

Description

The focus of the image is a young couple sitting on a chair. The young woman is seating on top of the young man, who appears to be giving her a kiss. A Chinese screen sits behind them, with another young man in a pageboy cap leaning over to see the couple.
The writing in the black box at the bottom reads" In Press
The printer held her upon his knee. As fair a type as you'd wish to see. To objections he said with derision, "Tis now the hour of going to press, but I can hold the form I guess, to await an important decision.""

From your friend [illegible]
and soon.
