A pair of early 20th century postcards from the Musée de Louvre, Paris, set into off white mounts and vintage limed wood reeded, glazed frames.
The first features the marble sculpture of ‘Cupid and Psyche Standing’ by Canova, presented in 1801, with the god and the mortal admiring a butterfly.
The second sculpture, ‘Cupid Presenting a Rose to a Butterfly’ by Antoine-Denis Chaudet, 1802, has Cupid again with a butterfly, which represents both the embodiment of the earthly soul and Psyche herself.
France, c.1930
