Rope appears to have repeated this design for an altarpiece in a children’s chapel on several occasions, since various photographs of the composition survive in the archive (Leeds City Art Gallery).

The Rope album contains one particularly notable version, less fully coloured than the present composition, but in an elaborate frame with a lunette above depicting angelic children holding a banner bearing the inscription "Thou Hast Revealed it Unto Babes". This quotation is taken from St Matthew XI:25 and St Luke X:21 and relates to salvation, a frequent theme in Rope's work.

The composition was first exhibited in 1911 at the Ipswich Art Club, no.274, with plaster casts available at £10.10s, and a marble version cost £50.

The church of St Michael the Archangel at Smarden in Kent, contains a plain plaster version of the composition.

A polychromed plaster relief, without the lunette, forms the altarpiece of the children’s chapel at St Margaret’s, Leiston, Suffolk, and a further polychromed plaster Unto Babes is listed at St Swithin’s Church, Norwich, but is untraced (Church Crafts League, List of Artists and Craftsmen, 1916)
