Bring a piece of French sacred history into your collection with this exquisite antique Catholic holy card (image pieuse). Dating back to the late 19th or early 20th century, this original card features a beautifully detailed chromolithograph depicting the Sacré Cœur de Marie (Immaculate Heart of Mary).
The illustration captures the classic devotional image of the Blessed Mother showing her radiant heart, complete with the symbolic divine fire and the piercing, sorrowful sword. She is framed by an extraordinarily fine, embossed gold Gothic archway nestled inside a vibrant wreath of traditional pink roses and white lilies.
This beautiful piece of religious ephemera features text in French at the bottom reading "Sacré cœur de Marie." It serves as a beautiful addition to an antique missal book, a vintage frame, a prayer altar, or a collection of historical paper ephemera.
It is in beautiful antique condition with wear appropriate for its age. Circa 1890–1910. It measures 2.45" x 3.75". Please see photos to review subtle aging, coloration, and paper patina.
