Subject: Sacred Heart of Jesus (Catholic devotional). Material: Engraved print on paper with watercolor hand-coloring. Origin: United States (framed). Frame: Original gilt wood frame. Backing: Original period backing with framer’s label. Framer label: The Picture Shop Progressive – Meekins, Packard & Wheat Co. Condition: Antique condition; age-appropriate toning to paper, light surface spotting consistent with age, frame with expected wear. Dimensions: As shown in photos. Authentic 19th-century Catholic devotional print depicting the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The image was mechanically engraved and subsequently hand-colored with watercolor, evidenced by visible printed linework beneath transparent color washes and subtle tonal variation from manual application. This is not a chromolithograph or original watercolor painting. Housed in its original late-19th-century American gilt wood frame, retaining the original backing and framer’s label from The Picture Shop Progressive Meekins, Packard & Wheat Co. , a known period framing firm. Frame, glass, paper, and construction are period-consistent and mutually corroborating. A genuine antique devotional work. #SacredHeart #AntiqueReligiousArt #HandColoredEngraving #CatholicDevotional #19thCenturyPrint #AntiqueFramedArt.
