{1897 Cupid Awake and Cupid Asleep Sepia Photos in Oak Frame}

Cupid Cutie Josephine Anderson was four years old as she modeled for infamous photographer Morris Burke Parkinson, in 1897 for these darling Cupid Awake and Cupid Asleep prints.

Because of the glare, I have scanned this oak frame with the two individual sepia prints of Cupid Awake and Cupid Asleep. 

For the complete text above, click on hyperlink: Cupid's Magic

These very rare sepia prints were available at my Zen Cart powered on line boutique: Mariette's Back to Basics 

The outside frame dimensions are 8¼" by 6¼".

Print No. 2001  copyrighted

Cupid Awake

Published by Taber Prang Art Co.
Springfield, Massachussets

Print No. 2002 with the same information.

For an age old paper this held up very well!

The entire part shown here

Same for the other print

This is the true color as the antique printing has almost faded, I did darken the above photos to just show you the original printing text.

I've carefully removed the two cover pieces, only to prove that they are authentic 1897 prints. There is no photo from the frame with the antique covers in place...

This would make a great Valentine's Day gift!

Sold out...
