EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of solemnity and significance during the inauguration of the pontificate. The engraving, taken from Bernard Picart's renowned work "Illustration de ceremonies et customs religieuses de tous les peuples du monde" showcases the burning of a cloth as part of an elaborate ritual. The image transports us back to 1723-1743, immersing us in the religious customs and traditions of that time. It is evident that this ceremony holds great importance within the Catholic religion, as clergy members clad in their ornate robes participate in this symbolic act. The composition exudes a sense of reverence and spirituality. The pope, surrounded by his entourage, stands at the center of attention while witnessing this sacred event unfold before him. The intricate details captured by Picart's engraving highlight not only the grandeur but also the meticulousness with which these rituals were performed. As we delve into this historical snapshot, we are reminded of how deeply rooted faith can be for individuals across different cultures and religions. This particular scene serves as a testament to both Christian tradition and human devotion. Preserved within private collections since its creation in 1819, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but still resonating with spiritual significance today.
