The primary purpose of their pretty visual rendering was to surprise, attract and engage. Here, the key role was played by highly abundant and rich d\u00e9cor that served as an ornament and carried a charge of narrative and symbolism. D\u00e9cor, the diversity of which was always driven by the competition between publishers, was a merge of imagination, eclecticism and mastery. The paper \u2018lace\u2019 was inspired by openwork paper or parchment cuttings produced by nuns in the Baroque era. Its new manufacturing process involved mechanic technologies that merged the pre-existing embossing and perforation techniques. With chromolithography becoming increasingly available, the appearance of the holy cards became simpler, but they still retained many d\u00e9cor elements. Flowers, flower bouquets and arabesques were the key constituents of holy cards manufactured by virtually any technique.<\/p>\n<p>The devotional cards were influenced by Light Romanticism; however, the divide between romance and sentimentality or triviality was blurry. From the 1840s, the holy cards became the illustrative phenomenon of mass culture and the example of a mass-manufactured product.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: symbols, Christian traditions, Jan Kazimierz Wilczy\u0144ski, Album of Vilnius, Light Romanticism<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skirmant\u0117 Smilingyt\u0117-\u017deimien\u0117 (PDF) https:\/\/doi.org\/10.53631\/MIS\/2022.12.1 From 1840 to 1914, holy cards and their d\u00e9cor were important carriers of Christian traditions and symbolism.
