[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9505730, member: 2844"]A beautiful but very common print. The Dürer Praying Hands print was found in just about every R. Catholic household in Western Europe at one time. My very pious grandmother also had one. Googling the hell out the translation probably led to 1+1=3. The written text is not in Frisian but in High German, which is 'regular' German. The original German text: Albrecht Dürer. Betende Hände. Kupferstich 1508. Unserer lieben Tante Martha, Weihnachten 1948. Von Hanna und Willi. Frisian translation: Albrecht Dürer. Biddende hannen. Kopergravure 1508. Oan ús leave muoike Martha, Kryst 1948. Fan Hanna en Willi. (I hope you can see the difference) English translation: Albrecht Dürer. Praying hands. Copper engraving 1508. To our dear Aunt Martha, Christmas 1948. From Hanna and Willi. :jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop:[/QUOTE]
