Description: I have for sale a "Cupid Awake" & "Cupid Asleep" print matted in a wooden frame. (15 inches by 11 inches) Printed on both Cupid's arrows and at the bottom of both Cupids is "Copyright 1897 By M. B. Parkinson". M. B. Parkinson the photographer who took the Cupid images worked in New York City during the latter part of the 1800's and early 1900's. His young model, Josephine Anderson, was the daughter of a friend, a single mother who worked and sometimes left her child in Parkinson's care. Josephine died in the 1970's. Parkinson copyrighted his prints in 1897 and they were distributed by Taber-Prang Art Company of Springfield, Massachusetts. In 1908 the Ohio Art Company began selling picture frames in which the Cupid prints were displayed. Sold in Kresges's, Sears and Woolworth's the Cupids were very popular and were seen in many homes across the country. In 1938 The Ohio Art Company bought the copyright from Taber-Prang after they went bankrupt. Print comes from a smoke free home and is in excellent condition. Acid free backing has been applied by a professional framer and print is ready to hang for years of enjoyment. The bright spots on the print is from the flash on my camera.
