This is a wonderfully inspiring antique print titled, "All Asleep But The Angels". It’s a peaceful bedtime picture featuring 5 sweet angels tucking in the children to bed. One little angel is seen standing on his tiptoes, peaking over the bedpost at the little girl. Another is holding a doll and the third little angel appears to be sorting and putting away the children’s clothes for the night. A crucifix and a religious picture of Mary and Baby Jesus hand on the wall above the sleeping children. What a pleasant scene! This print is one of eleven, from the Guardian Angel Picture Series. The original painting was made for a children’s book titled, "John and Joan and Their Guardian Angels". This print is No. 76-2. The publisher is St. Anthony Guild Press, Paterson, New Jersey. The original paper backing is mostly intact and includes the title, publisher, item number, history, and a lovely verse that corresponds to the picture. This print is in its original molded wood frame. I believe the frame was originally painted gold, but is now a pretty cream color.

| It must have been re-painted quite a long time ago because the cream-painted frame ‘looks’ very original. The color of the frame is also very complimentary to the calm and quiet shades of the picture. The print is in excellent original condition. The frame is also in excellent original condition, except for minimal age-appropriate wear to the old cream-colored finish. Original glass and original round metal hanger. Circa 1920’s. |
