Cupid turned volunteer; in a series of prints
A set of hand-coloured prints published in London in 1804 by W. Bulmer for E. Harding, engraved by William Nelson Gardiner after designs attributed to Princess Elizabeth, a satirical series casting cupids as volunteer soldiers. Each plate frames a small putto in a neoclassical border, with the pictures showing cupids drilling, tending altars, and carrying arms in pale washes a designer could borrow for playful Regency-style motifs.
