Escala Católica Y Misteriosa de Jacob [The Catholic and Mysterious Ladder of Jacob], 1856

Catholic ladder designed by F. N. Blanchet. The ladder is written in Spanish and printed in Valparaíso, Chile in 1856. Blanchet developed the ladder as a visual teaching aid with illustrations of biblical scenes. Blanchet and other missionaries used the ladders as an instructional tool for Christian evangelization to Native American and French métis communities. Handwritten notes on the back of the document read, "July 26, 1902, St. Mary's Academy & College," and, "Catholic Chart, 1839, c. 1856."

Blanchet, Francis Norbert, 1795-1883
