1877 Saint Cecilia Ancient Roman Catholic Martyr Illustrated Prosper Gueranger
A rare late 19th-century printing of Prosper Gueranger’s history and life of Saint Cecilia, a 2nd century Roman martyr. This beautiful 1877 edition features two chromolithographic engravings and hundreds of in-text vignettes and illustrations.
