Description

“Grace” was taken by Eric Enstrom around 1920 in Bovey, MN on the Iron Range and became the state photograph in 2002. Composed to inspire faith and thankfulness after World War I, “Grace” quickly became popular and was displayed in homes, restaurants, and churches. Unable to keep up with demand, Enstrom later sold the rights to a Lutheran publishing house.
