Anna Anne Communion Depicting Devotional Halo Halos Maria Monseigneur Virgin
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Chromolithograph Devotional Card, dating back to 1911, showcases a beautiful and revered depiction of Saint Anne, the venerated mother of the Virgin Mary. Saint Anne, believed to have lived in the 1st century BC, is an essential figure in Christian and Catholic religious traditions. The Chromolithograph, a printing technique that uses multiple lithographic stones, each inked with a separate color, results in a richly detailed and vibrant image. In this portrait, Saint Anne is depicted as an elderly woman, seated and holding the young Virgin Mary on her lap. Both women are adorned with halos, signifying their divine connection and holiness. The card, which was likely a souvenir for a First Communion ceremony, features the inscription "Monseigneur Scalbert, 1911," indicating its connection to a specific religious leader and year. The intricate details of the card, from the delicate folds of Saint Anne's robe to the delicate features of the Virgin Mary's face, showcase the skill and artistry of the Chromolithographic printing process. The card's French origins are evident in the ornate decorative border, which is reminiscent of the intricate designs commonly found in French religious art of the time. The overall effect is one of reverence and devotion, making this Chromolithograph Devotional Card a precious and meaningful keepsake from the early 20th century.
