About This Design

St. Catherine of Alexandria in Egyptian Dress Post Postcard

St. Catherine of Alexandria in Egyptian Dress Post Postcard

A most unusual representation of St. Catherine of Alexandria (c. 287-c. 305), virgin martyr known for her eloquence and erudition, in Egyptian dress. She is the patron saint of girls and unmarried women, students and teachers, nurses, librarians, and lawyers, and artisans who work with wheels. + Feast: November 25 + NOTE WELL: The image is not pixelated. The obvious dots of colour that you see are owed to the image’s original printing process: chromolithography. Chromolithography, which employed limestone slabs in its printing process—one slab for each colour, is distinguished by irregular "dots" of colour visible in its output. At the original size of 2.75” x 4” (7 cm x 10 cm), the dots are barely noticeable. Enlarged at two times, three times, four times the original size or more, they figure much more prominently. The images resulting from enlargement are, however, not displeasing and rather resemble Georges Seurat’s pointillist paintings! Think ‘A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte’. Both chromolithographs and Seurat paintings rely to a greater or lesser extent on the brain, not the eye, to achieve colour mixing and tonality. + Image Credit (M 025): Detail of an antique image of St. Catherine of Alexandria in Egyptian Dress in chromolithography, original publisher--probably French--unknown, late 19th century, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.

Exactly what I wanted, it is very difficult to acquire Vintage Australiana items. I am so please that I ordered 8 I will be using them for my scrap booking and Junk Journaling. Gorgeous, Zazzle produced and delivered exactly what I wanted.

Way better quality than I ever expected. I love the colours, font and quality of the card. I'm so pleased I found Zazzle as it is near impossible to purchase Vintage or Retro Australian memorabilia online. I chose this design when I purchased them. They are perfect for my projects. I was very specific about what I wanted. I know where to come now when I need to order similar items.

Perfect for the occasion I was using it for. I was able to delete the lines so I could put in more wording. Had an envelope so the address side wasn't necessary. Print quality and paper quality lovely.
