A cdv photo of the Pope, seated, in his robes. A table with religious statuary is next to him. Image has some light dirt and spotting. Plain unruled mount is untrimmed. Impressed across the bottom of the mount is something in Italian, likely the photographer’s address. Back is blank but for a pen and ink name at the top. Fair condition overall.

Pope Pius IX (born Giovanni Maria Battista Pietro Pellegrino Isidoro Mastai-Ferretti; May 13, 1792 – February 7, 1878) was head of the Catholic Church from 1846 to 1878. His reign of nearly 32 years is the longest verified of any pope in history and second only to Saint Peter according to Catholic tradition. He was notable for convoking the First Vatican Council in 1868 which defined the dogma of papal infallibility before taking a break in summer of 1870. The council never reconvened. At the same time, France started the Franco-Prussian War and removed the troops that protected the Papal States, which allowed the Capture of Rome by the Kingdom of Italy on September 20, 1870. Thereafter, he refused to leave Vatican City, declaring himself a "prisoner in the Vatican".  [jet] [ph:L]
