EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautifully colored engraving captures the distinguished visage of Federico Cattani Amadori (1856-1943), an Italian Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. Amadori served an esteemed role as the Secretary of the Apostolic Signatura from 1924 to 1935. The Apostolic Signatura, also known as the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signature, is the highest judicial body of the Catholic Church. Born in Italy during the 19th century, Amadori's life and career span the transition from the European Victorian era to the modern 20th century. This engraving, created in 1877 by an unknown artist for The Spanish and American Illustration, offers a contemporary glimpse into the appearance and attire of a high-ranking Catholic cleric of the time. Amadori is depicted wearing the traditional red cassock and white surplice of a cardinal, adorned with the cross of his ecclesiastical rank. He holds a rosary in his right hand, symbolizing his deep devotion to the Christian faith. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds of his habit to the beads of his rosary, reveal the skillful artistry of the engraver. As a prominent figure in the Catholic Church during a pivotal period in European and American history, Amadori's image serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church in Europe and beyond. This engraving invites us to reflect on the rich history and traditions of the religious institution and the individuals who have shaped its legacy.
