Añadir al carritoBroadside (338 x 418 mm), printed within an elaborate macabre woodcut border in 4 blocks; creased where once folded, small hole at centre, but generally well preserved.A strikingly printed broadside funeral notice for Marie-Joseph Chapelle, 'a young girl of the parish of StFeuillen, who, after having suffered a long and painful…illness, with a perfect resignation to the will of her Creator, furnished with the Sacraments of our Mother the Holy Church, died piously on the 6 July 1796, aged seventeen' (trans.). The white-on-black woodcut border features the accoutrements of power in this life crowns and coronets as well as a papal tiara, a cardinal's galero, and a bishop's mitre alongside sceptres, croziers, swords, and thuribles strewn across a black background and surrounded by bones; in one corner are scythes, and above the memento mori motto 'hodie mihi, cras tibi'. [offered with:][FUNERAL NOTICE.] [Incipit:] On recommande à vos charitables prières et saints Sacrifices, l'Ame de Madame Jeanne-Sainte Dengis, Veuve de Monsieur Henri-Joseph Chapelle, negociante, de la paroisse de St. Pholien [Liège,] Kersten, [1830]. Large broadside (415 x 540 mm), printed within an elaborate macabre woodcut border; creased where once folded with very short tears, slight offsetting, but generally well preserved. A strikingly printed broadside funeral notice for another member of the same family, Jeanne-Sainte Dengis, 'widow of Henri-Joseph Chapelle, shopkeeper, of the parish of StFeuillen, who, after a short illness, which she bore with a perfect resignation to the will of her Creator, furnished with the Sacraments of our Mother the Holy Church, died piously on the 10February 1830, at the age of eighty-six' (trans.). Much like the text, the motifs of the woodcut borders are remarkably consistent over a period of four decades: the scythes are joined by hourglasses, and the crowns and tiaras are joined by more instruments of this life the tools of the trade of farmers, clerics, scholars, soldiers, and jurists, among others and two vignettes, one showing a shipwreck and the other a city in destruction. At the foot is added a vignette of a grave, and on either side a large skull over crossed bones. Language: French.
