Description

Born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto in 1835, Pius X served as pope from 1903 until his death in 1914. Known for his conservative, anti-modernist philosophies, he became, in 1954, the first pope to be elevated to sainthood since Pius V in 1712. Large ink signature, "Pius PP. X,” on an off-white 9.75 x 2 slip below a handwritten Latin blessing. Affixed to a slightly larger card. In very good to fine condition, with a block of toning from prior display. Accompanied by a large, striking matte-finish 10.75 x 14.25 portrait of Pope Pius X.
