Religious ink print page on paper
15.5 inches wide and 20 inches length
Hello, this item is a religious-themed blockprint, likely a 19th-century European devotional broadside or moralizing print, executed in black ink on paper. The format, iconography, and narrative layout suggest it belongs to the tradition of The Broad and Narrow Way, a popular Protestant visual motif representing the contrast between righteous and sinful life paths. In the print, you can observe detailed allegorical vignettes, with angels, devils, scenes of judgment, and text boxes—common in moral tract imagery produced by Christian groups from Germany, the UK, or the US during the 1800s.
This kind of print would have been mass-produced using woodblocks or early intaglio methods for distribution among religious communities or schools. Given the visible signs of age and wear, along with the relatively uncommon survival of such prints in good condition, the piece holds interest for collectors of folk religious art or early Christian ephemera.
Thank you very much.
