EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Cupid fishing" artist George Adolphus Storey takes us on a whimsical journey to the riverbanks where love is in the air. The image, part of a private collection and originally published in The Illustrated London News in 1894, showcases Cupid himself indulging in an unconventional pastime - angling. With his bow and arrow set aside for a moment, the mischievous cherub sits perched on a rock, casting his line into the flowing waters below. As he patiently waits for his catch, one can't help but wonder what kind of love-filled surprises he has planned for those who fall victim to his bait. Surrounded by lush greenery and delicate flowers that seem to bloom with anticipation, Cupid's presence adds an enchanting touch to this tranquil scene. His playful expression suggests that he finds great joy not only in shooting arrows but also in reeling hearts closer together through the art of fishing. This print from Bridgeman Images captures both the beauty of nature and the power of love intertwined. It serves as a reminder that sometimes unexpected methods are needed when it comes to matters of the heart. So next time you find yourself near a peaceful riverbank or contemplating your own romantic endeavors, let Cupid's example inspire you to cast your line fearlessly into life's unpredictable currents – after all, you never know what treasures await beneath its surface.
