A Short History
Charlotte Reihlen of Stuttgart (1805 - 1868) The designer of the well known "Broad and the Narrow Way picture". Some years before Mrs Reihlen passed away 21st January 1868 she was inspired to create the picture called the Broad and Narrow Way after seeing earlier versions based on the scripture Matthew 7:13-14. Eventually Mrs Reihlen found a talented and capable artist in Conrad Schacher to create the picture and message she wanted to make known to the world.
