Description

Art Deco Celluloid Tabletop Religious Souvenir of First CommunionMade in America some time in the 1930s 1940s or so, may I offer this celluloid religious image (more than likely Souvenir of First Communion) depicting Jesus Christ revealing his Sacred Heart to a young child. The image is done in hushed pastel tones not an overly Catholic image but something very subtle, perfect for a nursery or child's bedroom. Size is 3 1 8" high x 2 1 8" wide. Perfect condition with the original easel back still present.

Illustrations by Fisher were recognized as the epitome of feminine beauty - lithe

The inside of the box is still a bit dusty/dirty and needs a light clean

the card is heavily embossed with a purple bell set amidst sprays of holly and berries

there an impressed GERMANY mark at the bottom

the card is cream and peach colored and features the words FRIENDS at the bottom

The binder is 12" high x 9-1/2" wide

In a French Revival manner and composed of vintage and modern day ribbon

Condition is very fine with no problems I can spot

A 3-1/4" x 2-1/4" x 1-1/8" deep kraft paper box has been decorated with a copy of a vintage french prayer card and embellished with gold glitter

the stencil pieces are still completely intact

Hallmarked MADE IN ITALY on the bottom
