This 1903 anonymous broadsheet from the Metropolitan Museum of Art depicts a devotional image of Our Lord of the Hospital, a crucifix venerated in Salamanca, Guanajuato, Mexico. The image is framed within a decorative border and features a detailed depiction of Christ on the cross, surrounded by candles, flowers, and dramatic curtains, creating a sense of reverence and piety. The print was likely used as a devotional aid or as a means to spread the image and its associated devotion. This artifact offers a fascinating glimpse into religious practices and visual culture in Mexico during the early 20th century.
