EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful Chromolithograph Devotional Card commemorates the First Communion of Ernest Neuts on May 13, 1909, at The Church of Saint Eloi (Eligius, also known as Eloy or Loye) in Dunkirk, France. The intricately detailed image captures the solemn and reverent atmosphere of the occasion as Ernest, dressed in his finest attire, receives the Eucharist from the priest or vicar at the altar. The priest's blessing hand is extended towards Ernest, bestowing the sacramental grace upon him. The altar, adorned with vibrant flowers and candles, stands as a symbol of the sacredness of the moment. The Chromolithograph process, a popular method for producing color prints during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, lends the image its rich and vibrant colors. The intricate details of the priest's vestments, Ernest's attire, and the decorative elements of the church are all rendered with remarkable precision. This devotional card was likely a cherished souvenir for Ernest and his family, serving as a reminder of the spiritual milestone in his life. The Church of Saint Eloi, a historic and significant religious site in Dunkirk, adds to the importance and significance of the image. The Roseries Collection, through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of religious traditions and rituals, such as the First Communion, in the early 20th century.
