"Salvation"

Vintage photo of a woman holding on to the cross from the waves about to engulf her.  Colorized from a photo by Fitz W. Guern ca 1890 or earlier.  This was another studio shot using painted backdrops as Guerin is famous for.  Used some creative liberties to composite real waves, sky, rocks and the wood ruins of a structure on which the lady stood.  This may have been inspired by paintings of the Noah Flood waters reaching mountain tops teeming with people, this time using Christian symbol of salvation.
