• Only to Dream of Her

  The image shows a young couple sitting on a green park bench kissing; appears to be a photograph that was colored in later. The woman is wearing a brown large hat decorated with flowers and a pink walking ensemble. Her white parasol is on the ground beside her feet. The man is wearing a suit that does not appear to have been retouched. Gold flower and vine motifs encircle the couple. The black text at the top is in a gold box and reads: "Only to dream of her, and on my pillow white In an eternal night sleep on for aye. Only to die for her and in the world to come With the true heart I've won, take there my rest."

• In Press

  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.""
• Not the Beauty of Tulips

  A young couple stands in a wooded area. The image appears to be a photograph that was later colored in. The young man has dark hair, a brown jacket, and blue pants. One hand is around her waist, holding a dark hat; the other is holding her hand. The young woman has lighter, potentially reddish hair and is wearing a stylish white summer dress. Their faces are centimeters away, as if they are about to kiss. The yellow text at the bottom reads: "Not the beauty of Tulips, Nor the taste of mint Julips, Can compare with your two lips, My beautiful darling." The image is framed with a thin yellow border.
