Paris: N/a, 1880. A beautiful tryptych in padded leather, with a golden coloured metal embossed plate of Our Lady des Victoires (church in Paris). To the left and right of the brass panel is a manuscript hand in black and red, with the Marian prayer of Abbé Perryve. This is hold the line "Holy Virgin, have pity on those who loved each other and who were separated." It is appropriate that this folding travelling prayer is there to bring comfort to the travellers away from their loved ones. The panel folds and is closed with a push stud clasp. Beautiful blind stamped and embossed outside. In excellent condition inside and out. There is a touch of marking to the manuscript lines. Fractional rubbing to the covers. Overall a beautiful piece. Abbé Perryve was a Roman Catholic priest, who died age 34 in 1865. He wrote a number of popular prayers and other ecclesiastical works. 12.5cm x 8cm closed. 12.5cm x 18cm open. . Un beau tryptyque en cuir matelassé, avec une plaque en métal doré de Notre-Dame des Victoires (église de Paris). A gauche et à droite du panneau en laiton se trouve une main manuscrite en noir et rouge, avec la prière mariale de l'abbé Perryve. Celle-ci tient la ligne "Sainte Vierge, ayez pitié de ceux qui se sont aimés et qui ont été séparés". Il est tout à fait approprié que cette prière de voyage pliante soit là pour apporter du réconfort aux voyageurs éloignés de leurs proches. Le panneau se plie et se ferme à l'aide d'un fermoir à bouton poussoir. L'extérieur est joliment estampé et gaufré à l'aveugle. En excellent état à l'intérieur et à l'extérieur. Il y a une touche de marquage sur les lignes manuscrites. Les couvertures sont légèrement frottées. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'une belle pièce. L'abbé Perryve était un prêtre catholique romain, décédé à l'âge de 34 ans en 1865. Il a écrit un certain nombre de prières populaires et d'autres ouvrages ecclésiastiques. 12,5 cm x 8 cm fermé. 12.5cm x 18cm ouvert.
