EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this chromolithograph print, we witness a profound biblical scene that has captivated hearts for centuries. The Magi, three wise men from distant lands, stand before the humble manger where the infant Jesus rests in his mother's arms. Their faces radiate awe and reverence as they present their symbolic offerings to the newborn King.

These precious treasures are laid at the feet of this extraordinary child who embodies hope and salvation. The composition beautifully captures the contrast between majesty and humility.
