Sacred Heart – Based on a 250 Year-Old Holy Card – Catholic Art Print – Archival Quality Christian History and Paris was sparedIt wasnt until the early 1800s that professional holy cards with high production standards became common. The earlier holy cards were home made works. The oldest surviving holy card is a woodcut of St. Christopher from 1423 (which we ought to clean up and offer you someday).
