A Thanks Offering – Frank William Warwick Topham - Beautiful Catholic Art – Catholic Gift Saint Photograph as this was a paintingFor us, the baby is the star of this show, as babies so often are. The baby looks as beautiful and believable now as he or she did back in 1884 when the picture was painted.

The baby is contentedly at work with the rest of the flowers. It's perfect. Frank William Warwick Topham (1838
