Gilded beyond imagination within the Old Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City, the miraculous tilma image of Our Lady of Guadalupe glows at the center of its ornate baroque retablo — flanked by classical columns, crowned by stone angels in half-relief, and ringed by the amber light of altar candles in this vivid mid-century chrome card that captured one of Roman Catholicism's most venerated shrines at the height of pilgrimage tourism. The Basilica de Guadalupe, built on Tepeyac Hill where the Virgin appeared to Juan Diego in 1531, draws millions of pilgrims annually and is the most visited Catholic site in the world after the Vatican; the original tilma, woven of ayate fiber, is preserved behind bulletproof glass and remains the subject of sustained scientific and theological study. Published by Ammex Asociados under their "Vistacolor" imprint, this card is unused and pristine, card number V 252 — a desirable devotional and tourist collectible.
