Description
Nice newer version set of “Grace” and “Gratitude” man and woman praying framed pictures. This is a newer version (not sure why someone decided they needed a “newer” version) and originally sold by a company in Minneapolis MN. Framed and ready to hang. One frame has a rough spot on the corner.
These classic pictures were hung in all the homes of our grandmas and grandpas. The image of the Man is titled “Grace” and is a 1918 photograph by Eric Enstrom. It depicts an elderly man, Charles Wilden, with hands folded, saying a prayer over a table with a simple meal of bread. It was created in Bovey, Minnesota. The photo was originally taken in black-and-white, but was colorized by hand by Enstrom’s daughter, Rhoda Nyberg.
The other picture with the Woman is titled “Gratitude,” taken in the 1960s by Jack Garren, who owned a Christian bookstore in Centralia, Illinois. The subject is Mrs. Myrtle Copple (d. 1975), and the photo was designed to complement “Grace.” The two are often packaged together: “Grace and Gratitude.”
Frames measure about 21 x 17″. Everyone needs grace and gratitude in your home.
