French Script may help

Thanks that was helpful. What script do you think for the roses?

I believe that the letters over the roses may be in a font called "Antatomy."

Yes, that fancy script (cursive on steroids) is difficult on the eyes! For those fancy letters, I was using: EOQFD

Have you found anything using EOQFD?

I think that's EVQFD.

I agree. EVQFD I just wish this helped us in some way. Still working on it.

Good Eyes; thanks for posting that alphabet! So, its "EVQFD"!

Not sure if it matters, but the font for CU+FE is Edwardian Script, but that is indeed what it says.

The rose writing looks like CA + FE.
As to the coordinates over "red herring", this may be the message:

I'm gonna say the letters are Cu + Fe - for copper and iron. In Roman mythology, Cupid was the child of the goddess of love, Venus; and the god of war, Mars. The element copper (Cu) is associated with the planet Venus; and the element iron (Fe) is associated with the planet Mars. The word "Rose" can be anagrammed into the word "Eros". In Greek mythology, Cupid is called "Eros". That is the only reason I can come up as to why roses are pictured.

I don't have anything "good" for 2-11-5; but I tried counting various words and letters in the poem, the title, on the periodic table.

Since this post helped me find this connection, it is also worth noting that Vulcan is the Roman equivalent of Haphaestus, god of metalworking and fire. Vulcan also happens to be Venus' partner.

Thanks for posting the font iteslf - picture is worth 1,000 words. It looks to me that the title "Cupid's Arrow" also uses this Edwardian font, just as CU + FE uses Edwardian. I'd also say that the coordinate numbers above the red fish also use Edwardian font. So, since the bottom letters EVQFD use French Calligraphy, the question is: is it significant that this French font was used at the bottom, or was it "merely" an aesthetic/artistic choice to use "simpler" or "less curly" font?

Then, there is also the block lettering for "It was all E". Why is that not cursive? I have no answers, nor even guesses.

"It was all E" is Algerian font.

So what about the latest hint about the roses? Are we looking for Bloomingfield or Bloomingdale?

I wonder why the white and red rose?

I was looking at the "site" the picture was from. There's a Bloomington in Indiana; also university.
