"Among other things, this volume contains a most minute account of the portrait of the Virgin of Guadaloupe, which appeared miraculously on the "Filma" or blanket of Juan Diego, a converted Mexican, in the year 1531; and which was solemnly declared by a commission of painters and others, in 1751, not to have been painted by the hand of man. The good Archbishop comes to the conclusion that it must have been painted by millions of angels." Size: Quarto (4to). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
