Chrysler, Jr. Endowment Fund 2002.2 A visitor to the World's Fair of 1878 would have immediately seen that the image of Cupid on this vase is borrowed from the image of Cupid on The Portland Vase since Locke's copy of that vase was also on display at the Fair. An article on Hodgetts, Richardson & Son, also illustrated this vase in the Art Journal in 1878. Approved By: ERL
