This is a wonderful, expressive, and compelling religious print of the Blessed Virgin Mary holding a lovely bouquet of white lilies. With her other hand, she holds her heart. The tranquil colors of blue and white are very appealing. This picture radiates with pure love and divine beauty. Mary’s angelic face is flawless looking and so beautiful. The flowers and halo shimmer with gold highlights. At the bottom of the print, within a diamond cartouche, are the letter’s "NB" and the letter "C" for copyright. The back of the print itself is stamped at the bottom, "NB 6033; Copyright 1940 N.G. Basevi; Litho in U.S.A.; N.G. Basevi, Inc.". This print is in excellent original condition.

*** I've included some information about the publisher, N.G. BASEVI:
"Founded in 1927 by N.G. Basevi, and continuing the tradition with the Comincini Family, CROMO N.B. was the first to introduce color printing to what had been exclusively black and white reproductions. Throughout this time, CROMO N.B. has maintained its leading edge.
Today, CROMO N.B. Milan is recognized as the foremost publisher of Fine Religious Art. Cromo N.B. is home to the world's renowned top religious artists including - Simeone! Cromo today is the leading producer and designer for the world market for Greeting Cards and Religious Prints. In addition to the Religious Art line Cromo N.B. also possesses one of the biggest library of designs for Greeting Cards including humor, everyday, baptism, birth cards, communion, confirmation and wedding announcements.
Cromo N.B. was founded on 10th January 1927 from Giacomo Basevi, called Nino (that is why the letters N.B. in our name), who started to print those religious pictures that still today are the most important range of our production."
