This is a hard to find, magnificent and large antique lithograph print of a heavenly Guardian Angel helping a young little girl get across a rickety small wooden plank with a serpent waiting and hiding for them at the end. This is not the typical and classical picture of the Guardian Angel helping the two children cross the rickety bridge, although it does remind you of it. In all my travels, I’ve never seen this picture before with just the little girl, nor have I ever seen this picture represented with the plank and serpent. This rare scene features just the little girl, holding the Guardian Angel’s hand and with her other hand, she holds a wooden walking stick.

| It’s interesting to note that as the child walks across the narrow wooden plank, you can tell from her expression that she is obviously oblivious to the danger in front of her - the sneaky slithering evil serpent. Thankfully, her Guardian Angel sees it and protects her from harm. Both of their faces are charming and the bright, rich, and colorful details throughout make this piece all the more special. In addition, the lush, green landscape adds a nice sense of depth to this delightful scene. This large and captivating print is in excellent original condition. The molded wood frame retains the original black finish and is also in excellent original condition. Original glass and old twisted wire and string hanger. Missing the paper backing. Circa 1910. |
