Salvado
John Dirimera (age 10) and Francis Conaci (age 6) of the New Norcia mission, WA, travelled with the Benedictine priest Rosendo Salvado to Europe in 1849 to be educated for the priesthood. Unfortunately John died in Rome shortly after his arrival and Francis after his return to the mission in 1855. The engraved plate is from Salvado’s memoirs I [1851]
