Hope Comforting Love in Bondage Postcard

This postcard depicts Hope Comfoting Love in Bondage by Sidney Harold Meteyard. In this image Love is a dejected adolescent Cupid crowned with roses. His arms and legs are bound and he has cast aside his bow and quiver of arrows in despair. The figure of Hope gently consoles and encourages him, her green robe suggesting spring, new shoots and new life. The implication is that even when love meets with frustration and disappointment, the lover should not give up. [shortcode] [short-description]
