Let us honor our Mother! This lovely Immaculate Heart from the 19th Century is the Marian companion piece to "Source of Grace," which has the doves with Jesus's Sacred Heart. Both were printed by L. Turgis, a French lithographer active in Paris and New York in the late 1800s.
The Victorians loved symbols. Doves were one of their favorites. There are many doves on 19th century holy cards, especially among the French. These two by Turgis are two of our absolute favorites. We find them both graceful and charming.
Both are restored in our shop. We removed the stains and discolorations and some of the printing errors, while at the same time preserving the feel of the paper texture. We were also able to keep that chunky litho printing look, which we think looks great. We wanted to retain that original charm and make this a pleasing restoration of a delightful old Catholic image.
The companion piece, Sacred Heart Source of Grace, down in the photo above, is available here on Etsy at https://www.etsy.com/listing/666761646/vintage-sacred-heart-of-jesus-with-doves
Standard size. Easy to find a ready-made frame at your local Hobby Lobby. If you're sending this as a gift and would like us to frame it for you, please convo and we'll make special arrangements for you.
** 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!
