Christian in Valley of Humiliation ~ Antique Print
1 of 2

Beautiful, detailed steel engraving after the picture by Frederick Richard Pickersgill. From the tale by Bunyan.

When Christian leaves the palace "Beautiful," four of its inmates, Discretion, Piety, Charity, and Prudence, would accompany him down to the foot of the hill that led into the Valley of Humiliation, to render any aid he may require. "So he began to go down, but very warily, yet he caught a slip or two." Two of his companions, Discretion and Piety, held him on each side, to keep him from falling: Prudence removes some brambles from his path; and Charity, with an infant in her arms, carries a basket containing "a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine, and a cluster of raisins" which is presented to him when they part company.

Printed on heavyweight ivory/cream stock. Reverse side is blank.
