Saint John the Baptist Pray for Us c. 1820

This anonymous, hand-colored woodcut print titled "Saint John the Baptist Pray for Us" from c. 1820, depicts John the Baptist standing with a lamb at his side. The saint is dressed in a traditional robe and carries a staff, often associated with his role as a preacher. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the image, including a halo behind John's head and floral decorations, are typical of devotional art. The inscription at the bottom reads "St. Jean Baptiste priez pour nous," French for "Saint John the Baptist, pray for us," indicating the print's purpose as a religious icon. The art was produced in Chartres, France and sold by a printer named Garnier Allabre.
