Brewer in Cedar Rapids, in part: "I have given so much time and thought to the reproduction of the pictures in color in my work, 'The Life of our Lord Jesus Christ,' that they are almost as much my own work as the original paintings and I sincerely wish them to go into good hands and be in congenial company." In fine condition, with trimmed edges and partial separations to folds.
