EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Chromolithograph Devotional Card features a beautiful portrait of Jesus Christ, surrounded by an intricate Art Nouveau border. The image of Jesus is depicted in contemplative repose, with a serene expression and outstretched hands, symbolizing the offering of the Eucharist. The communion chalice or cup, a sacred vessel used during the Christian sacrament of the Eucharist, is placed at the bottom of the card, adding to the religious significance of the piece. The card is dated 17th May 1906 and was created as a souvenir for the First Communion of Robert Thoores at the Church of St Eloi (Eligius, also known as Eloy or Loy) in Dunkirk, France. The Church of St Eloi, a historic and architecturally significant place of worship, has been an essential part of the community in Dunkirk since the Middle Ages. The Chromolithograph Devotional Card is a stunning example of the artistic and religious traditions of the time. Chromolithography, a printing technique that uses multiple lithographic stones, allowed for intricate and vibrant colors to be used in the creation of this card. The Art Nouveau border, with its flowing lines and organic shapes, adds an elegant and ornate touch to the design. This card is not only a precious keepsake for Robert Thoores but also a beautiful work of art that captures the essence of Christian devotion and the significance of the First Communion. The intricate details, rich colors, and religious symbolism make this Chromolithograph Devotional Card a truly unique and treasured piece.
