Antique German Catholic Holy Card Immaculate Conception St Bernard c.1870

Antique 19th-century German Catholic holy card depicting the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, beautifully rendered in period chromolithography. The reverse features the Prayer of St. Bernard to the Blessed Virgin, printed in German Fraktur script.

These devotional cards were privately kept in prayer books or displayed in the home and were not meant to survive heavy handling, making complete examples increasingly scarce. The card shows appropriate age wear, foxing, and softened edges consistent with its devotional use and age.

A strong example of German Catholic ephemera, ideal for collectors of religious folk art, Marian devotion, or 19th-century printed material.
