Cupid's Snare
Printmaker: Unknown
Valentine card of cream laid paper, roughly 8vo size with a lithograph of black ink (uncoloured) titled at upper centre on a scroll: CUPID'S SNARE. A scene within a heart-shaped border at the centre shows Cupid setting an arapuca box trap to capture two flying hearts. The steeple of a church can be seen rising above the trees in the distance. The inside pages are blank. One of a series of cards on cream laid paper with uncoloured lithographs, apparently all later reprints, the designs possibly taken from collections of love poetry published in the early nineteenth century by James Kendrew of York, and mounted in album P.14348-R. A hand-coloured version of this print is in the collection of the McCord Museum in Canada. See C271_B1.36, which is given a date of 1880-1910: http://www.musee-mccord.qc.ca/en/collection/artifacts/C271_B1.36?Lang=1&accessnumber=C271_B1.36.
