Cupid Turned Volunteer: In A Series Of Prints (1804) is a book written by Elizabeth, Princess. The book is a collection of prints that depict Cupid, the Roman god of love, in various scenarios. In each print, Cupid is portrayed as a volunteer, helping people in need. The prints are accompanied by short poems that describe the scene and the actions of Cupid. The book is divided into four parts, each part containing a different set of prints. The first part shows Cupid helping lovers in distress, the second part shows him assisting children, the third part shows him aiding the poor and the fourth part shows him helping soldiers in battle. The book is a charming and whimsical portrayal of Cupid as a helpful and kind-hearted figure, rather than just a mischievous deity.
