Description: | By Janet Johnstone alone, printed by Valentines. Printed legend states 'THE LEGEND OF ST. HUBERT. St. Hubert, patron saint of huntsmen, became Bishop of Liege and Apostle of Ardennes. According to legend, his conversion took place one day while he was out with the chase, when a stag miraculously appeared before him, bearing between its horns a crucifix surrounded by rays of light.' The card illustrates this scene, with the mounted saint surrounded by four Irish wolfhounds.
Inside the card, sent to the Reids by the Johnstone twins, Anne Johnstone has written: ''Poor Ffion [their own wolfhound] is a little under the weather at the moment, but not too bad.'' | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Rights holder: | Seven Stories | Subjects: | Seven Stories | Source: | Seven Stories | Identifier: | JAJ/02/08/12 | Go to resource |
