Grace

Grace is a photograph by Eric Enstrom. It depicts an elderly man with hands folded, saying a prayer over a table with a simple meal. The original photograph was taken at Enstrom's photography studio in Bovey, Minnesota. Most sources indicate 1918 as the year. The man depicted in the photograph is Charles Wilden, who earned a meager living as a peddler and lived in a sod house. After the photograph became popular Enstrom attempted to track Wilden down but was unsuccessful.

Enstrom said he wanted to take a picture that would show people that even though they had to do without many things because of the war they still had much to be thankful for.
