Morris Burke Parkinson (1847–1926) was an American photographer, best known for his "Cupid Awake" and "Cupid Asleep" photos, which were supplied in frames produced by the Ohio Art Company circa 1912. Parkinson was born around Buffalo, New York, but moved with his family to Oshkosh, Wisconsin soon after. As an adult, he moved back east, working in New York and Massachusetts, where he is closely associated with Boston.
Cupid Awake and Cupid Asleep
"Cupid Awake" and "Cupid Asleep" are photographs taken in 1897 of Josephine Anderson, the four-year-old daughter of a friend. Parkinson often babysat Josephine for his friend, a working single mother. The photographs were copyrighted the same year, 1897, and published/distributed by Taber Prang Art Co of Springfield, Massachusetts.
