EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1901, titled "Flying Cupid Drawn by Butterflies and a Bee" is a vintage Victorian illustration that exudes fantasy and whimsy. The image showcases a cherubic cupid gracefully soaring through the air, his delicate wings carrying him aloft. Instead of traditional transportation, this enchanting cupid is being drawn by an entourage of vibrant butterflies and a diligent bee. The composition is filled with intricate details, such as the boy's bareback perch on the fantastical insects and the beautiful flowers that surround them. Delicate roses and hollyhocks add to the ethereal atmosphere, while showcasing the artist's keen eye for botanical accuracy. This trade card artwork was originally created to promote cologne in early 20th-century America. However, it has since become an iconic piece of art history due to its imaginative portrayal of flight and nature's harmony. The chromolithograph captures not only the beauty of these winged creatures but also evokes a sense of wonderment in viewers young and old alike. It serves as a reminder that even in our wildest dreams, love can take flight with grace and elegance. With its timeless charm and artistic finesse, this print continues to captivate audiences today as it hangs proudly in private collections around the world.
