I found this wonderful scrap on our trip to PA at a lovely little bookstore called the Doe Run Valley Book shop. I thought this piece was especially interesting because it advertised Godey's Lady's Book. For $2 a year, a patron was given "1000 pages of Reading, comprehending Poetry, Stories, Sketches, History, Novels, Dialogues, and Charades by the best magazine writers of the day..." What a bargain! 
One of the interesting things about this advertisement is the emphasis on "Full Size Cut Paper Patterns." 1885 is such a different world from today! Fashions are found by most in the mall or out of catalogues whereas they were found on the pages of magazines and books duringthe 19th century.
I thought this little "Sleeping Love" cupid would be perfect in a Valentine's collage or card. I'm trying to collect more colored images but I thought this one was quite special. Enjoy!
