New! Currier Ive's Pilgrims to Lourdes ? 3 Sizes ? Catholic Art Print ? Catholic Gift Currier Ive's were so good at what they did that their lithographs helped define the culture of the 19th Century. Even today, their cozy Victorian Christmas scenes are still popular and iconic, depicing happy people of that era ice-skating or getting Christmas trees, or doing other typical things, the men wearing stove-pipe-hats and the women puffy, bustly dresses. This beautiful scene of Pilgrams at the Grotto in Lourdes takes us back, but also signals the normalacy of Faith in those times. This lithograph was done not many years after the actual appearance of Mary, the Mother of God, to the poor shepherd girl Bernadette Soubirous in 1858. People were getting healed there. People are still getting healed there today. The Grotto as a destination shrine has not lessened but grown in the years since. The water spigots are much more numerous now, stretching for a long way next to the shrine. Mary still obtains many favors from her son Jesus for the faithful. ** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! The white border shown in the picture is the approximate size of the larger pints. The 5x7 only has about a half inch margin. 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.
