This beautiful book combines the benefits of a solid catechism and the finest artwork–at an affordable price! And in hardcover!

The Apostle’s Creed, the Ten Commandments, the Commandments of the Church, Sin, Virtue, the Sacraments and Prayer are all brought to life with illustrations and quotes from Scripture pertaining to the precepts being taught.

For Family Catechism or Adults.

Despite its object “to inculcate the doctrines of Romanism” and its hearty recommendation by Cardinal Wiseman, even the London Art Journal in May 1863–amidst sidehand comments that its texts “differ from those in our authorized Bible”–saw fit to recommend this ‘Pictorial Catechism’ for its “One hundred and twelve wood engravings, well executed, after the original designs of a distinguished artist of the Dusseldorf school.”

We have lovingly restored these engravings and have improved the original layout of the book, grouping the subjects into clearly demarcated sections. The table of contents displays the tenets to be learned, while an index helps the reader find images in chronological order as they are found in the Bible. You could even photocopy the black-and-white engravings for some beautiful colouring pages for the children!
