Little is recorded about who "Eliza Jane" is, so the title itself is the most distinctive thing we have. Nathaniel Currier issued this hand-colored lithograph in New York around 1847, when his firm was producing large numbers of inexpensive prints for a growing middle-class market. Color was usually added by hand, often by teams of workers applying pigment stencil-fashion, so each impression varies slightly in tone. Prints of this kind were meant to be displayed in homes and parlors, and they offer a window into the popular visual culture of the 1840s.
