Lead with the angel's pink wings and soft, curled hair, which set this chromolithograph apart from the grave, robed angels common in older devotional art. Chromolithography, which built a picture from many successive stone or plate impressions, flourished in the later nineteenth century and made bright, affordable color images widely available. Prints like this one were often pasted into scrapbooks, hung in parlors, or given as keepsakes, and their sentimental tone reflects the Victorian taste for gentle, childlike angels. Look closely at the layered color and fine shading to see the work that went into each stage of printing.
