Helfand, William H.
Extent: 61 item
A gift of historian of pharmacy and medicine Dr. William H. Helfand, this collection of ex-votos and devotional paintings
on medical subjects offers insight into Mexican religious folk practices. Ex-votos are votive paintings usually hung in churches
and religious venues as a sign of gratitude for received blessings or healings. The collection includes ex-votos dated between
1868 and 2002 and dedicated to Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, Saint Anthony of Padua, Saint James the Moor-slayer, Saint Paschal
Baylon, Saint Barbara, Saint Judas Thaddeus, Saint Nicholas, and Saint Cosmas.
