An angel hovers over small children standing on railway tracks, turning an everyday hazard into a scene of divine protection. Guardian angel pictures were especially popular around 1900, when rail lines ran through towns and farmland and parents worried about children playing near them. Issued as a postcard with a verse, the image worked as a devotional keepsake and as a sentimental message that could be posted to a friend or relative. The pairing of picture and rhyme is worth noticing, since together they offer comfort rather than warning.
