Catholic Line Art, Black and White • Installment #66

T HAS BEEN my pleasure to post these lovely images, and I will continue doing so. But let no one think these downloads can replace holding the actual Jogues Missal in your hands. The entire book is a work of art, and its typesetting will astound you.

Today’s image (#66 BELOW) was not used in the Jogues Illuminated Missal because we found other images of a higher quality … but it’s still very nice. It depicts the Nativity of our Lady, which formerly was celebrated with great solemnity.
