Life Magazine – February 6, 1908 (# 1319) – Valentine’s Day issue

– Half page artwork of a priest noticing a couple kissing across the church yard, “The Good Saint Valentine,” by Nuttall.

– Two page centerspread art by Elsa Roeder of Orange, New Jersey, “But there’s nothing half so sweet in life as love’s young dream.”

– Current events include : Paparazzi takes his subject to court after getting punched (or so it sounds, this is probably the impending Gould marriage), Apparently it is illegal in New York to photograph an objecting person but the objector usually ends up paying for any damage (to photographer and camera), Governor Hughes recommends prohibiting race-track betting on horse races, Congress proposes to give ex-Presidents a pension for life (after all, he must always regard the dignity of the office and that restricts him very much in the choice of employments).

– Cute half page artwork of downcast man following a haughty woman on a hike, by Orson Lowell, “Don’t propose to her 4 or 5 miles from the hotel.  It may be a long walk back.”
– And much more 2Neat vintage Life magazine 1908 content – fun!
