1955 Print H. Stanley

Measures about 16"x12". Cannot find anything on this print, guess it is a nothing burger. Still, liked the art nouveau influence. Was that a mid-50s thing?

Yeah, should have said I found that, but this seems non-religious, guess just a print, no biggie.

 

I'd say it's Mary, Christ child, and Thorns image.

 

OMGosh 20s! I NEVER saw Jesus in the flower at all! Now I see it, so obvious! LOL. Thanks.

 

A rose on the 'Tree of Jesse'. Mary is the rose on the family tree of Jesus.
There is a hymn of German origin that explains it all (sort of):

Any, thanks for that, very interesting. From that link, "That Mary, the mother of Jesus, is the rose that has sprung up to bring forth the Christ child, represented as a small flower ("das Blümlein")."
