Vintage Framed 6" MB Parkinson Cupid Awake Print. Measures 6 1/2" in height by 5 1/4" wide. Very good condition, frame has a black spot on it. I did not take it apart to explore further.
Add a touch of Victorian-inspired sweetness to your decor with this Vintage Framed M.B. Parkinson "Cupid Awake" Print. Measuring 6 1/2" in height by 5 1/4" wide, this charming oval portrait features one of the most famous photographic subjects of the early 1900s—Josephine Anderson, who modeled for Parkinson's celebrated "Cupid Awake" and "Cupid Asleep" series. The image displays a cherubic child with soft, curly hair holding a small bow and arrow, rendered in a classic sepia or black-and-white tone.
This print is housed in its period-accurate oval frame with a cream-colored finish, perfect for a gallery wall, a nursery, or a vanity display. M.B. Parkinson's work is highly regarded by collectors of early American photography and Victorian sentimentality. While this piece is in very good condition for its age, please note there is a small black spot on the frame that adds to its authentic storied character. It serves as a beautiful gift for baby showers, weddings, or for anyone who appreciates the romantic aesthetic of the Edwardian era.
This item is vintage over 50 years old. While I fully evaluate each piece and it appears to be in the very good 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.
