Description
Three branches of lilies, two gold and one white, appear in the center of the card with a rectangular shape made of thorns. A gold cross is in the upper left corner, and four virtues of nuns--obedience, poverty, chastity, and charity--appear in the upper right in front of a branch of thorns and a rosary. Green and gold leaves are in the bottom left corner, and a religious verse in the bottom right. The back of the card has an inscription commemorating the profession of religious vows of a Sister of Saint Joseph of Lynn, Massachusetts. This card was printed by an unknown French publisher.
