Title

Description

This broadside has two pages printed on the recto and verso, so that when folded there are four pages of text. On what would be the cover, there is an engraving at the top of the page depicting Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos in a rectagular frame. She is flanked on either side by figures in religious garb, each carrying oil lamps with smoke streaming behind. The decorative border for the scene has angels at the two top corners. The page just inside the cover features an engraving of a large processional gathered in front of the image of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos at the very bottom. Possibly a souvenir for a pilgrim to the shrine of Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos, the text of this broadside contains prayers and a farewell to the Virgin written from the point of view of a pilgrim. The text mentions Pope Leo XIII, Pope Pius X, and Archbishop Jose de Jesus Ortiz y Rodriguez of Guadalajara. Archbishop Ortiz y Rodriguez crowned the Virgin by decree of Pope Pius X in 1904. The bottom of the last page (when folded) has spaces for the reader to fill in their name and the date of their pilgrimage.
