Clerc Régulier Mineur - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of a Minor Cleric Regular This 1862 hand-colored lithograph depicts a Clerc Régulier Mineur, or Minor Cleric Regular, dressed in a plain black cassock and biretta, symbolizing his commitment to a life of humility and service. The cleric holds a book close to his chest, reflecting the scholarly and spiritual focus of this Catholic religious order. His solemn posture evokes devotion, study, and pastoral care. The Minor Clerics Regular, also known as the Theatines, were founded in 1524 by Saint Cajetan and Gian Pietro Carafa (later Pope Paul IV) during the Catholic Reformation. Dedicated to reforming the clergy and revitalizing the faith, they emphasized strict discipline, charity, and education. Today, Theatines remain active in parishes and missions worldwide, especially in Europe, the Americas, and India. This lithograph, part of the *Album ou Collection Complète et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome*, was skillfully illustrated by G. Perugini. It serves as a fascinating artifact of religious history and a visual record of the traditional attire of Minor Clerics Regular, making it an excellent addition to collections of ecclesiastical art, monastic traditions, or antique prints. Translation of Introduction Text: A powerful interest is attached to the name of Rome, an even more profound interest to the name of Christ. Rome, through its genius, the vast intelligence of its warriors, orators, and legislators, prepared the cradle where Catholicism would be born, grow, develop, and establish itself. The history of Catholicism is the history of this great and glorious city above all others. Virgil, in a truly prophetic verse, said: "Tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento." This prophecy has seen the most noble, illustrious, and glorious developments, all conspiring for the eternal city's glory: its history, arts, monuments, and the religion at its core. Yet no other city offers such a collection, from the monuments of Augustus to those of Sixtus V and Leo XII, from pagan temples to saints' tombs and martyrs' shrines. This union of grandeur is further illustrated daily by the magnificence of Catholic rites. With this album, we present the splendid costumes of the Papal dignitaries and the humble attire of religious orders. These costumes were inspired by the traditions handed down through centuries and were designed with unique precision by the talented artist G. Perugini.

Antique Set of Three Botanical Fern Prints by E.J. Lowe (1868) – Aspidium Series Chromolithographs Description: This rare and exquisite set of three original hand-colored botanical fern prints was created by the esteemed British botanist Edward Joseph Lowe...

Antique Hand-Colored Fern Prints - Aspidium Species - 19th Century Botanical Art This rare set of three hand-colored fern prints features detailed illustrations of various species of **Aspidium**. These botanical prints are part of the renowned 19th-century collection, *Ferns: British and Exotic*, showcasing the meticulous botanical artistry of the Victorian period. The ferns illustrated in this set include: - **Aspidium augustescens** (Majestic Shield Fern): This species is known for its symmetrical fronds and graceful appearance. The print showcases the fine detailing of the fern’s structure, capturing the natural elegance of its leaves. - **Aspidium acuminatum** (Pointed Shield Fern): This species is noted for its sharply pointed fronds and dense arrangement of sori (spore clusters). The print emphasizes the intricate texture of the fronds and the distinct shape of the reproductive structures. - **Aspidium proliferum** (Proliferous Shield Fern): This fern is characterized by its broad fronds and ability to produce multiple offshoots. The illustration captures the density and lush growth habit of the species, with precise attention to the arrangement of the spore clusters. These prints come from E.J. Lowe’s famous botanical work, *Ferns: British and Exotic*, which was published between 1856 and 1860. Edward Joseph Lowe was a distinguished Victorian botanist known for his extensive research and beautifully illustrated publications on ferns. His work remains highly regarded for its scientific accuracy and aesthetic quality. The prints were produced using the chromolithography technique, a popular 19th-century printing method that allowed for vibrant, multi-layered color reproduction. This process adds depth and dimension to the prints, creating lifelike images that make these ferns appear almost tangible. Each print measures approximately 12 x 8 inches, making them perfect for framing. Whether you are a botanical art collector, a nature lover, or someone who appreciates vintage prints, this set offers both historical significance and decorative appeal. Condition Report: Overall good condition with light age-related toning around the edges. The colors remain vibrant, and the images are clear and sharp. Keywords: antique fern prints...

Carme Déchaussé - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of a Discalced Carmelite Monk This stunning 1862 hand-colored lithograph portrays a Carme Déchaussé, or Discalced Carmelite monk, an emblem of humility and devotion. The figure is depicted in the characteristic simple brown habit and white mantle, with sandals on his feet—true to the order's name, which means "without shoes." The lithograph is part of the Album ou Collection Complète et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome, a richly illustrated publication that details the diverse attire of Catholic orders and clergy. The Discalced Carmelites, a reform of the Carmelite Order established by Saint Teresa of Ávila and Saint John of the Cross in the 16th century, emphasize poverty, prayer, and community. Their attire reflects these values, remaining largely unchanged through centuries and still in use today by members of the order worldwide. This print captures the austerity and spiritual focus of their mission. Created by G. Perugini and accompanied by explanatory texts from Père Hélyot, this lithograph is a unique artistic and historical record. It offers insight into the traditions of one of the Catholic Church's most contemplative orders, making it an excellent piece for collectors interested in religious art, ecclesiastical history, or the evolution of monastic life.
