1900s - 3 Antique Holy Cards French Religious Ephemera - Our Lady of Lourdes - Sacred Art - Vintage Devotional Collectibles from Paris

This collection presents three exquisite antique French religious prayer cards, each featuring unique devotional artistry.

The first card, titled 'Souhaits d'une Ame Chrétienne' (Wishes of a Christian Soul), displays a golden, embossed medallion of a sacred profile within elegant scrollwork. A prayer by St. Paul is printed below: 'Que la grâce du Seigneur vous prévienne et vous accompagne toujours, qu'elle vous tienne sans cesse appliqué à la pratique des bonnes œuvres' (May the grace of the Lord prevent you and accompany you always, may it keep you constantly applied to the practice of good works).

The second card portrays Our Lady of Lourdes in a serene pose, hands joined in prayer, with a halo inscribed 'Je suis l'Immaculée Conception' (I am the Immaculate Conception), all framed by golden decorative borders.

The third card is richly adorned with colorful floral and foliate motifs, encircling a prayer that begins: 'O Jésus! c'est maintenant que vous êtes en effet tout à moi...' (O Jesus! it is now that you are indeed all mine...).

These charming Parisian cards bear imprints from publishers such as Morel and Kahn Frères & Zabern.
