- Signed
BENEDICT XV. (1854-1922). Head of the Roman Catholic Church from 1914-1922. SP. ("Benedictus PP XV"). 1p. Small folio. N.p. [Rome], April 16, 1921. In Italian with translation. A black-and-white photograph of the pontiff by Guiseppe Felici (1839-1923), seated with his right hand raised in blessing, and mounted to a large sheet. Underneath the image, Gabriella Mazzetti Stellingwerff, in an unidentfied calligraphic hand, pleads for a blessing: "Blessed Father, Gabriella Mazzetti Stellingwerff humbly prostrated at the feet of your holiness begs for…his apostolic blessing." Pope Benedict has added his blessing below the request:
"We bestow our heartfelt implored apostolic blessings"
Elected to the pontificate at the young age of 59, after two of the longest pontificates in history, Pope Benedict XV attempted to use his office to mediate peace during World War I, which he called "the suicide of civilized Europe." Unfortunately, his efforts were viewed with suspicion by protestant Germany as well as France and so the pontiff focused on humanitarian work instead and, after the war, rebuilding the church's missions around the world. The latter became his most lasting legacy and he is remembered as the "pope of the missions."
Italian photographer Felici was known as "Fotografo papale" or "Photographer of the Popes." Beginning with his portrait of Pius IX, the firm he founded was the official photographer of the Vatican for four generations.
In excellent condition.

The title sheet appears to be a carbon, while all the other sheets appear to be the original typescripts. A series of charming poems about various toy wooden animals that the author has encountered over the course of her life, with delightful anecdotes and even a few poems about wooden objects that aren't animals, like "An Old Broomstick."… Read More
