N.S. da Conceiçáo da Rocha Valentine card
Publisher: Unknown
A devotional valentine on the subject of the Portuguese holy site, The Shrine of Our Lady of the Rock, which was built between 1830 and 1892 and opened in 1893. An image of Our Lady of Conception, a patron saint of Portugal, had been discovered at the site in 1822. A small, hand-coloured lithograph on white wove paper with shaped edges and yellow painted border of the Virgin wearing a blue cloak and gold crown, a cave seen behind and to the left and buildings on the right. The title is lithographed below: 'N.S. da Conceiçáo / da Rocha'. The lithograph is mounted onto a small, single sheet of an early example of perforated 'lace paper'. The letters, 'INRI' are cut into the paper at upper centre. The letters refer to the Latin inscription written onto the cross of Jesus at the crucifixion, which translates as, 'Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews'. The perforated sheet is mounted onto a larger sheet of white wove paper. The lithograph probably dates from the early days of the shrine, following the discovery of the image. Mounted on the same album leaf as another devotional valentine, P.14417-R-95 and P.14417-R-93, a valentine which employs an image reminiscent of the style of religious painting of the early Renaissance.
