About the Item

Augustine - 1862 Hand-Colored Lithograph of an Augustinian Nun This 1862 hand-colored lithograph illustrates an Augustinian nun, showcasing her in the act of embroidery, a reflection of devotion and diligence. The nun is seated at a simple wooden table, dressed in the traditional black habit and white wimple associated with the Augustinian order. She works with focused attention on an embroidered piece bearing the "IHS" Christogram, a symbol of Jesus Christ. The Augustinian Order, founded in the 13th century and inspired by the teachings of Saint Augustine, emphasizes community life, prayer, and charitable works. Augustinian nuns historically played a vital role in education, healthcare, and the arts, particularly embroidery and the creation of liturgical items. Their legacy continues today in convents and ministries around the globe, where they remain dedicated to prayer and service. This lithograph is part of the *Album ou Collection Complète et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome*, created by G. Perugini. It beautifully captures the contemplative and industrious life of Augustinian nuns, making it a meaningful addition to collections of religious art, monastic traditions, or historical prints. Translation of Introduction Text: A powerful interest is attached to the name of Rome, an even more profound interest to the name of Christ. Rome, through its genius, the vast intelligence of its warriors, orators, and legislators, prepared the cradle where Catholicism would be born, grow, develop, and establish itself. The history of Catholicism is the history of this great and glorious city above all others. Virgil, in a truly prophetic verse, said: "Tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento." This prophecy has seen the most noble, illustrious, and glorious developments, all conspiring for the eternal city's glory: its history, arts, monuments, and the religion at its core. Yet no other city offers such a collection, from the monuments of Augustus to those of Sixtus V and Leo XII, from pagan temples to saints' tombs and martyrs' shrines. This union of grandeur is further illustrated daily by the magnificence of Catholic rites. With this album, we present the splendid costumes of the Papal dignitaries and the humble attire of religious orders. These costumes were inspired by the traditions handed down through centuries and were designed with unique precision by the talented artist G. Perugini.
