Re: Cupid Asleep

Your print was marketed by a company called Taber-Prang. Taber Prang sold huge amounts of these late Victorian sentimental prints as low cost decorating items. Most were sold framed, as the frames were the companies main product. The company is most famous the the Cupid Awake/Cupid asleep prints. Values for them are modest, in a decent frame they often sell for $50.00 under at auction.
