This is one of our favorite Madonnas. Simply beautiful. German, 1800s. O Maria, Mutter des göttlichen Hirten, bitte für uns! translates into, O Mary, Mother of the Divine Shepherd, pray for us! It is peaceful and graceful and makes a perfect devotional item in any corner of the home.

The print is really clean, and the colors are rich. The holy card is long out of copyright, and we spent extensive time restoring it. We print it on special art paper with archival quality pigments, rated to last for many generations without fading when kept out of the direct sun.

** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a white border of about 0.5" inch for 5x7", 1.3" for 8.5x11", or 1.6" for 11x14" pictures. All Approx! Fine art printers do this because the images are almost never the same rectangular ratio of the standard paper sizes. It also gives the prints a finished look, and lets them look good in a frame without a matt.

- Acid-free paper
- Archival pigments, rated to last for generations.
- Cardboard backer
- Above story of the art
- Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag.

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks!
