Vintage Allegorical Peace Print in Original Frame (c. 1915–1935)

An evocative early 20th-century allegorical art print depicting a serene female figure symbolizing Peace, seated on a marble throne with classical motifs — columns, flames, wreaths, and a resting lion at her feet. Below the image is an engraved poem by Howard V. Sutherland, titled The Mother Universal, Blessed Peace.

This piece combines a monochrome photographic base with hand-applied tinting, a method commonly used 1910–1935 to give depth and richness to prints before widespread color lithography. The imagery and craftsmanship suggest it was produced for educational or civic environments (schoolrooms, fraternal halls, small public buildings).

Framed in its original distressed wood frame, painted black with red underlayer showing through. Frame is solid but shows age wear that adds character. Paper backing has been professionally replaced more recently.

A striking, atmospheric piece for collectors of allegorical art, Americana, early 20th-century prints, or vintage classroom/civic w
