About This Design

Upper Torso of St. Joseph (Detail; VVP 09) Photo Block

Upper Torso of St. Joseph (Detail; VVP 09) Photo Block

In this detail of a 19th-century Belgian devotional print, a mature, grey-haired St. Joseph stands in front of a red wall hanging with golden yellow trim. The tapestry is patterned with equal-armed crosses enclosed in rotated squares. How it is hung defies logical explanation because the background consists of an infinitely deep aqua-blue sky bespattered with stars. + St. Joseph is richly garbed in strong colours. His robe is red; his mantle, green with a dark aqua lining and golden yellow borders. He holds a spray of white lilies symbolising purity in his right hand and an L-shaped brown wooden carpenter’s rule indicative of his profession in his left. Beneath St. Joseph’s sandaled feet in the full-length image that appears, for example, on our greeting cards and posters in this COLLECTION are additional attributes--a small dragon, a crown, a scroll, and a globe inscribed with the names of the populated continents—that speak to his role as protector of The Church. + This chromo- or colour lithograph was originally published to promulgate Pope Leo XIII’s “Prayer to St. Joseph” of 1889. + Principal Feast of St. Joseph: March 19; Feast of St. Joseph the Worker: May 1 + Image Credit (VVP 09): Detail from an antique chromolithograph of Saint Joseph, Protector of the Church, Pray For Us [H. Jozef, beschermer der H. Kerk, B.V.O.] originally published by K[arel] v[an] d[er] Vyvere-Petyt, Bruges, Belgium, c. 1890, from the designer’s private collection of religious ephemera.

This was a great product for an internal Awards event. Nadja R's brilliant graphic design work was mocked up digitally and then printed onto very high quality materials. I had a bespoke set of requirements and a really tight deadline and Zazzle came through. The end result was a real talking point for the Awards event and the base also not only helped with the stability, but it also looked like it had a light inside when the Show lights hit the Awards Trophies at certain angles. Thank you Nadja and Zazzle.

This turned out to be a great looking item. I found altering the design easy and the quality looked fab when all was done and finished. It matched my expectations wonderfully. The seller did a great job! The colours and font styles available were varied and I had fun tweaking them to my needs. The quality of both photo and the colours used where crisp too and came out wonderfully. Overall a great looking item very happy customer. Thank you!!
