The Rosary is a gift to the human race, a way for us to connect our hearts to Heaven and receive Heaven's intervention. Our Lady is the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. That's one of her titles from the Litany of Loreto, an ancient practice of Christians to declare her under a list of titles.
In 1912, one of our favorite Catholic artists, Ezio Anichini, did all of them at that time. He published them as gold-edged postcards, some of which were turned into embroideries. An Art Nouveau artist (or in Italy, Stile Liberty), he was made his living as a magazine illustrator. That made his illustrations graphic, precise, and emotionally engaging.
** 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 fine art 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!
