1900s - Antique First Communion Card - Religious Ephemera - French Catholic Souvenir - Vintage Holy Prayer Image

The front of the card presents an elegant illustration centered around a golden chalice surmounted by a radiant host, symbolizing the Eucharist. Delicate sprigs of light blue and white flowers intertwine gracefully across a textured, linen-like background, framed by a subtle silver border. The phrase 'Tout à Jésus' is prominently displayed in red. Below, a comforting quote reads: 'Le doux Jésus ne demande qu'à vous aimer et à vous garder si vous êtes fidèle.' This profound message is attributed to Mgr D'Outremont. The text 'Bouasse Jeune, Paris' and '1013' are located at the bottom.

The reverse side serves as a poignant 'Souvenir De La Première Communion' for René Marchand. It specifies that the sacrament was 'Faite En La Chapelle Du Lycée d'Alençon Le 27 Mai 1906.' This provides precise historical context, linking the card to an individual, date, and location within France, offering a tangible glimpse into the era's religious practices. This charming card remains in good condition.
