This project involves restoring a collection of 20 Hieronymus Wierix engravings, currently available as JPG images, for inclusion in a forthcoming book focused on the theme of Jesus living in our hearts. The engravings, which feature depictions of the child Jesus and a heart, require digital touch-up, cleaning, and potentially full restoration or coloring to ensure they are suitable as standalone, high-quality images for print publication. The book is intended for a traditional Catholic audience, especially young readers, but will also appeal to all ages. The selected illustrator will be provided with references and example files to guide the restoration process and ensure the final images meet the standards required for professional book publishing.
