St.Maria
A devotional print titled St. Maria, dated 1847, showing the Virgin with hands clasped in prayer beneath a gold halo, with a printed caption and publisher line along the bottom edge. The second picture adds a colour calibration chart and grey scale target laid over the image, which is scan equipment rather than part of the print. A designer might take the hand-coloured, flat printed palette with its soft shading and the gold halo as a model for devotional ephemera.
