Description
Nice set of “Grace” and “Gratitude” man and woman praying framed pictures. These are from the 1970’s and originally sold by a company in Minneapolis MN. Framed with real wood frames. Printed on that type of cardboard that looks like an oil painting-with texture.
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 24 x 20″. Everyone needs grace and gratitude in your home.
