Comments:
by Sprake:
Title printed on mount and woven in red. The picture is in black, white, red and gold. 

by Godden:
A religious silk rather than a true portrait Stevengraph, but mounted in the same style as the standard historical portraits.

The subject, first listed on label 29+38 of 1893, is rarely found on its original card-mount (as displayed above) but exists in postcard form.

Other comments:
There is also a second rare, possibly earlier version of this silk, woven without the heart, and recorded on this site as so388.
