St. John Paul the Great Holding a Puppy
Anonymous Photographer
On some summer day sometime in the 1950s, our friend and great Saint John Paul II, then Father Karol Wojtyła, was holding a puppy in what looks like a park. We love how strong and gentle he looks. Yet even relaxed, there is a firmness to his gaze. This is one of our favorite photos ever of the great man, mostly because we can see so plainly his kindness. Some have suggested that because the puppy looks kind of like a lamb, we can imagine him helping shepherd little lambs. This picture is so cheerful. It makes us happy, and we wanted to share it with you.
A note on copyright: We are diligent to present only works we are confident are in the public domain. Copyrights are created by the laws of governments. Prior to 1992 there was little cooperation between the old Soviet block and the governments of the West. Let alone American non-recognition of many Soviet-era copyrights, under Article 2 of the 1952 communist Polish copyright law, the original photo has been in the public domain for decades. Our restoration work is copyrighted; thus, the entire new image we present here is copyrighted.
Like all of our restored Saint photos, we hope it brings you closer to our Saint, and thus closer to our Lord.
"In order to communicate the message entrusted to her by Christ, the Church needs art." ~ St. Pope John Paul II
** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a white border of about 0.5" inch for 5x7", 1.3" for 8.5x11", or 1.6" for 11x14" pictures. All Approx! Fine art printers do this because the images are almost never the same rectangular ratio of the standard paper sizes. It also gives the prints a finished look, and lets them look good in a frame without a matt.
- Acid-free paper
- Archival pigments, rated to last for generations.
- Cardboard backer
- Above story of the art
- Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag.
Thanks for your interest!
