Rojo por peligro, – ¡alto!
1913
Gordon Grant’s 1913 cover for *Puck* magazine imagines Cupid as a celestial traffic cop in a witty visual pun. In this autumnal forest scene, a suitor leans in for a romantic moment, but the woman looks hesitant with her arms crossed defensively. Above them, the cherub isn't shooting an arrow; instead, he’s dangling a branch of bright red leaves directly over the man's head. It’s a clever play on the title 'Red for danger, – stop!', turning the fall foliage into a giant warning flag suggesting the woman should halt her romantic progress before it's too late.
