Vintage Framed Cupid Asleep/Angel Awake Print. Measures 11 1/2" by 9 1/2". Good condition. Scrapes on the wood frame and has what looks like black spray paint on the back.
Add a touch of Victorian sentimentality to your walls with this classic M.B. Parkinson double-print, featuring the iconic "Cupid Awake" and "Cupid Asleep" photographs. Originally taken in 1897, these images feature young Josephine Anderson, the daughter of a friend of Parkinson, and became a beloved staple in homes across America during the early 20th century.
This piece is presented in a deep-toned wooden frame measuring 11 1/2" by 9 1/2", with the two oval portraits set side-by-side against a warm wood-grain textured mat. These prints were famously distributed by the Ohio Art Company (the same company that later created the Etch A Sketch) and remain a highly sought-after collectible for fans of antique nursery decor and "shabby chic" aesthetics. While the frame shows some vintage wear and character, the prints themselves retain their soft, soulful expressions that have charmed viewers for generations.
This item is vintage, over 80 years old. While the item appears to be in the condition stated, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
