The Mother of Our Lord – 1879 Catholic and 50 similar items

The Mother of Our Lord ? 1879 Catholic American ? 8.5x11" This is a personal favorite. Over 30 years ago, I found a framed print of this in a thrift store. Kind of faded, but I loved the composition of the picture and the sweet gentleness of Mary?s expression. It?s hung in our home off and on for our whole marriage. This is a high-resolution image we?ve restored, taking out the stains and tears and fading, making it very fresh and bright, while preserving the old-time feel. Mary is portrayed with the 2 doves for the offering at the Presentation of the Child Jesus in the Temple.The original print was done by George Stinson Company of Portland, Maine, and published in 1879. It is a chromolithograph, which was the new technology that allowed them to create it in color without having to hand-paint it. This was a very popular print for a long time, and it?s possible that dozens of other printers produced versions of it. If you had a Catholic grandmother in the 1880s, even into the 20th Century, there?s a decent chance she ? or one of her friends ? had this picture, like the one that ended up in my hands.Thank you for your interest! We want to curate a collection that brings you joy!8.5 x 11 acid-free paper, with about an inch-and-a-third of white space around the picture. Cardboard backer. Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag.IMPORTANT!!! The image is smaller than the paper. Standard size. Easy to find a ready-made frame at your local Hobby Lobby.
