This Cupid Asleep Print features an oval silhouette and a paper texture, offering a classic aesthetic for curated gallery displays.
This iconic Edwardian-era image, captured by photographer M.B. Parkinson, depicts a soft, sepia-toned scene of a young winged Cupid in a moment of quiet repose with his bow. The print is housed in its original black oval wooden frame, which provides a striking contrast to the warm, aged tones of the photograph.
Measuring approximately eight and a half inches in height, this piece is an ideal size for a gallery wall or as a centerpiece in a Victorian-inspired nursery. The print remains in good vintage condition, while the wooden frame shows honest character through minor surface scrapes and scuffs consistent with its long history. It has been left in its original as-found state to preserve its archival integrity. Whether displayed as a piece of sentimental historical art or used to anchor a romantic bedroom vignette, this "Cupid Asleep" print brings a touch of timeless, serene beauty to any collection of vintage photography.
Details: Measures 8 1/2" by 6 3/4". Good condition, some scrapes on wood frame. I did not take it apart to investigate further.
This item is vintage, over 60 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
