Newsnote: Vincentiana Purchase of the week: Bronze statue of kneeling Daughter of Charity

The Vincentiana Collection of the Archives and Special Collections Department of DePaul University’s Richardson Library has just purchased a late 19th-early 20th century French bronze statue of a Daughter of Charity kneeling in prayer. The statue is ten inches in height and is four inches wide. It is a beautiful statue but has been marred by an ill-advised cleaning that has removed the patination. Never-the-less it is a nice addition to our Daughter of Charity material culture and iconography collection.
