Two Luigi Morgari and Anonymous Framed Devotional Chromolithograph Prints (Signed) - Two framed religious devotional prints, comprising chromolithographs on paper. The first work portrays Saint Joseph holding the Christ Child; Joseph is depicted with a blooming lily stalk, a symbol of purity, while the child points to an open book. Both figures are depicted with golden circular haloes against a dark, tonal ground. The print is presented in a broad, dark wood frame with a gilded inner slip. The second print depicts the Sacred Heart of Jesus, showing Christ looking heavenward with his hands indicating his radiant, flaming heart encircled by thorns and surmounted by a small cross. This work is set within a wide cream-coloured mount and a black-painted wooden frame with a gilded slip. The Sacred Heart print is signed L. Morgari in the lower-left corner. No maker's marks or signatures are visible on the Saint Joseph print. Both items are housed behind glass.
