EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases the iconic image of St Mary, Queen of Heaven and the Earth. The Virgin Mary is depicted as a majestic queen, cradling the Christ Child in her arms at the top of the composition. Her divine presence radiates love and compassion, symbolizing her role as a mother figure to all believers. Beneath this heavenly scene, a priest elevates a wafer during Mass, representing the Eucharist or Communion. This powerful moment captures both spiritual devotion and communal worship within the Catholic faith. The wood engraving technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to each intricate detail. The vibrant colors bring life to every element of this sacred tableau – from the priest's vestments to St Mary's regal crown. As viewers gaze upon this artwork, they are transported back in time to 19th-century France where Catholicism played an integral role in society. It serves as a reminder of how religion has shaped cultures throughout history and continues to inspire faith today. Created by an anonymous artist known only as Anon, this print beautifully encapsulates the reverence for St Mary that exists within Christianity. With its rich symbolism and artistic craftsmanship, it stands as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic expression.
