Ruth and Naomi Lithographed Artwork Card-Advertising Rootbeer This is a wonderful antique chromolithograph is a RARE find indeed.

Is a special print run made by Hire's Root Beer. Souvenir Art Made for Patrons Hires's RootBeer. Printed on the back is as follows: **This is a famous picture, a familiar sight to European connoisseurs, but not so well known here. It is the best copy extact of that exquisite oil painting. *The Parting of Ruth and Naomi.* All the paths of this touching episode of Scripture is here--the local color, the sentiment. It is another reading by the thought of inspiration. The artistic beauty of the pleading attitude, the tenderness of expression, and the womanly warmth cannot be too much admired; it is enough to say they have never been surpassed.
