About the Item
Antique print of Cupid and a crocodile.
This print originates from 'Amorum Emblemata', this work includes engravings of Cupids encountering the various trials of Love. The emblematic illustrations include verses in Latin, Dutch and French.

But Amor has an opposite nature, for he laughs when he makes lovers perish'.
