Title: Framed copy of the lords prayer copyrighted 1881
Post by: jradle on November 25, 2014, 09:53:04 AM

Was hoping to get some insight on this item.  Can't seem to find anything on the internet.

Thanks in advance.

Is there a publishers name at the bottom with the copyright date ??

No, I can't find a publishers mark anywhere on the front...I am also too afraid to take it out of the frame :-\

Yes it could be on the back !!  The frame looks like a fairly modern one from what I can see of it !! Can you take a pic of the back ??
And it would help to know the size of it without the frame !! Just measure what you can see under the glass !!

It's roughly 17 inches tall and 13 inches long...I gave it to a local church today who was interested in looking into it...they said once they take the back off they'll send me a picture of it so I can post it on here

Excellent !! But I meant the back with it still in the frame !! That would possibly tell a lot about when it was put in that frame !!
