Set in lettering wound with flowers, this piece takes its words from the devotional line "Simply to Thy Cross I Cling," which expresses trust in the cross as the center of faith. Verse prints like this were popular in homes and Sunday schools in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when framed text could serve as both a daily reminder and a decorative object. The blossoms and leaves common in such designs were often read symbolically, suggesting renewal and growth. Notice how the lettering itself is shaped to be admired as much as read.
