Poster Print : National Male Pilgrimage to Lourdes, France
Poster Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
National Male Pilgrimage to Lourdes, France
The huge National Male Pilgrimage to Lourdes - 18th-22nd April 1899. Worshippers in the Place De La Basilique. The organisers of this great pilgrimage hoped and wished to see 30, 000 men before the Grotto at Lourdes, but the result was far beyond expectation. During these days of pilgrimage the Railway Companies collected 66, 000 tickets from men alone at the Lourdes Railway Station. Unlike the National Pilgrimage which visited Lourdes every August, (during the Octave of the Assumption) this gathering was not composed of sick people and their friends coming to look for the cure of bodily suffering and restoration to health. This was a gathering of men in their full health and vigourassembled at Lourdes to honour the Immaculate Virgin, who has " shown herself so mindful of France, and who has striven so patiently to keep the faith in that great country". Date: 1899

A1 Poster (84.1 x 59.4cm, 33.1" x 23.4" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.
