Summary
A black and white print of Christ standing in front of a kneeling knight wearing metal armour. Christ is placing a crown of radiant light onto the knight's head. The knight's two swords and helmet are lying on the ground to his left. There are hills in the distance. Beneath the image is printed 'I will give thee a Crown of Life'. 'O Jesu Who art waiting thy faithful ones to crown.' The picture is framed and glazed. There are two metal eyelets on the reverse with string threaded through them for hanging the print up.
