Cupid Asleep Lithograph Magnet

In classical mythology, Cupid (Latin Cupīdō [kʊˈpiːdoː], meaning "desire") is the god of desire, love, attraction and affection.He is often portrayed as the son of the love goddess Venus and the war god Mars. An 1897 “Cupid Asleep” framed black-and-white photograph by M.B. Parkinson, has since been colorized. It depicts little girl (Josephine Anderson) with a head of curly hair sleeping while she holds a bow and arrow. The artist’s name, date, and title are printed on the bow. Cupid Awake and Asleep were wildly popular in the 1920's or so. Over 1/4 of US households had this print in some form in their homes. I inherited this one from my mother. The pair of Cupid Awake and Cupid Asleep were among her cherished pieces. It hung in an antique double frame over her bed. Printing on the back mentions "Prang". This is a photocopy, with some minor digital repair. Adorable, romantic and perfect expression of love for a Valentine's Day gift!
