Description
Print of Raphael's "Madonna of Loreto," titled "La Vierge de Lorette" in French, Mary standing over the infant Jesus with a bearded man behind her. Dedication printed below, in French, to Chevalier Regnault. This copy of the print was made by Theodore Irwin, Jr. (1858-1933) of Anchorage, KY, in 1926 and given to Sr. Melania Cheshire, SL (1859-1942). Irwin's nurse's two daughters, Roberta and Virginia, were Catholic converts and students at Bethlehem Academy (Hardin County, KY) around 1927. Irwin copied the print from a volume of the Great Gibbs Bible that was in his father's library in New York.
