Italian pope (1881–1963), born Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli, who ascended the papal throne in 1958 and served until his death. As the guiding force behind the historic Second Vatican Council, John ushered in the most sweeping reforms the Catholic Church had undergone in centuries. Glossy 4.25 x 6 postcard photo of Saint Lorenzo Giustiniani, signed on the reverse in blue ink, “Ang. Gius. Card Roncalli,” with the Cardinal adding nine lines of notations in Italian. A couple light brushes to handwriting, some light toning to reverse, and a few creases and light silvering to image, otherwise fine condition.
