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 color 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 color, is distinguished by irregular "dots" of color 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 color 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.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
