An ornate antique Victorian framed religious print titled The Lord Is My Shepherd

A classic late 19th century Victorian chromolithograph print depicting “The Lord Is My Shepherd” (Psalm 23).

Found in the original and particularly ornate ebonised and gilded frame. 

This beautiful and colour image shows an illustration of Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd surrounded by sheep. With highly ornate stylised Victorian typography motto, surrounded by decorative frills and dense botanical decorations.

Throughout the 18th, 19th and early 20th century, decorative representations of psalms, scriptures, etc were common place within the home, and other public buildings such as schools.

These beautiful prints would serve as daily reminders of the religious teachings of the bible. Often hung over a doorway, they would be a constant reminder to those who laid eyes upon them.

Possibly the work of Dreyfuss & Sachs.
