What makes a devotional print?

A devotional print was made to be prayed with rather than read: a saint, the Virgin or the crucified Christ, often small, sold cheaply and kept in a book or pinned to a wall. Later devotional chromolithographs did the same in colour, for the home.

Are the Bible prints from actual Bibles?

Most are. Mortier's and Luyken's plates were printed for illustrated Bibles and Bible picture books; others come from Bible histories, catechisms and print series of Bible scenes.
