About the Item

The handwritten Spanish text shown in the bottom margin and dated 1884, translates roughly to offering thanks to Our Lady of Guadalupe (Mary, The Holy Mother) for having heard the prayers of the man’s wife (shown praying), whose husband miraculously recovered after having seriously injured his head when thrown by his horse.
