My Husband is pretty fantastic since after we got married 5 years ago he has embraced my Mexican heritage by collecting over 100 antique and vintage photographs, postcards and chromos of Our Blessed Guadalupe, the Basilica de Virgen Guadalupe (in the different locations) and the Tilma. He has created this historical piece with over 85 pictures and hundreds of hours perfecting this true one of a kind art piece. We will reproduce this photograph fine art piece for you.

The center picture of the Guadalupe was taken without the glass when the Catholic church approved outside researchers to examine her. The crease is original from when Juan Diego had it folded beneath his cloak.

As for the other pictures, the earliest picture of the chapel dates to the late 1800's when it was located on El Tepayac hill. With her popularity growing and needing more room, they moved the church to the larger expanded one down below, which is where the majority of the other pictures are from. We do not have any of the newest basilica that they built in the 1970's. He is more attracted to the older and rarer photographs.

You can see from each picture, history has been captured and the evolution of the Mexican culture is documented and the sacred tie that the people have with their Blessed Virgen de Guadalupe.

This photograph is 20x 30" and is printed on high quality heavy duty professional fuji photo paper. THIS LISTING IS ONLY FOR THE PRINT. The framed picture is only to show you how fantastic it looks in the frame if you choose to frame it.

We will roll up the photograph and mail it in a heavy duty photo triangle box to you. It is truly a stunning one of a kind piece that is perfect for any history buff or follower of the Blessed Mother.
