Image is based on the typical 20th Century “holy card” of the Sacred Heart.
According to most information about it–the devotion dates back to the late seventeenth century, to the apparition of Jesus to Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, a Visitation nun living in a Visitation monastery at Paray-le-Monial in the Franche-Comte region of east-central France.  In these apparitions Jesus is said to have appeared to her and, among other things, requested that pictures of His Sacred Heart should be set up and venerated in churches and homes.  He also made several promises that people who venerate His Heart would receive special graces for their lives.
