"Tree of Jesse with Mary" Vintage Holy Card Beautiful and theological, this cosmic German holy card from the late 19th Century has Mary with the Holy Trinity. Mary and the baby Jesus are bordered by a Latin inscription which reads, Egredietur virga de radice Iesse et flos de radice eius ascendet. It is Isaiah 11:1 and means, A shoot will spring from the tree of Jesse, a new shoot will grow from his roots. ?Virga? means ?green twig? or ?shoot? (sometimes translated ?rod?) and is related to the word Virgo, or virgin. The artist further plays on this association by having the tree of Jesse that Mary and Jesus are ?sprouting? from be full of roses, for Mary. B. Kühlen M. Gladbach are the publishers. Artist is anonymous. Before and After Images show how fussy we are in restoring these beautiful Victorian prints. The print is really sharp, and the colors are rich. The holy card is long out of copyright and is now in the public domain, although our restorations are copyrighted. We print it on special art paper with archival quality pgiments, rated to last for many generations without fading when kept out of the direct sun. ?8.5 x 11 acid-free archival paper ?!!IMPORTANT!! Image has about an inch-and-a-third of white space around the picture, so the image is smaller than the paper. ?Cardboard backer. ?Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal clear bag. 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.
