What sets this sheet apart is its bilingual title, "Jesus and the Twelve Apostles," paired with the Spanish "El Señor y sus discípulos," which suggests the publisher hoped to reach Spanish-speaking buyers as well as English-speaking ones. Nathaniel Currier issued it in New York around 1847, about a decade before he partnered with James Merritt Ives. The sheet was printed as a lithograph and then colored by hand, a method that kept religious subjects like this one affordable for ordinary households. The copyright date of January 1848 in the record marks its formal registration shortly after publication.
