The Agony in the Garden David Jones
In 1924, David Jones published, with St. Dominic's Press, A Child's Rosary Book: Being the fifteen mysteries of the Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary divided into three parts: the Joyful, the Sorrowful and the Glorious mysteries. There were 15 wood engravings, including The Agony in the Garden.
This very rare print was set aside from the book, and is signed and dated, 1924.
The set of wood engravings was reprinted in A Rosary Calendar, in 1931.
The border around the image is shaded and slightly foxed, but this does not detract from the powerful print.
