The title sets this print apart: it presents womanhood as something to be crowned and honors it as a patriotic ideal, dedicating the work to "loyal subjects of liberty." Allegorical prints like this were popular in the nineteenth century, when printmakers often used crowns, classical symbols and idealized female figures to express public virtues. Images that linked womanhood with liberty could reflect the period's ideas about domestic virtue and civic duty, and they also invite questions about who was included in that liberty. The record does not name the artist or publisher, so the particulars of its making are best looked for in the print itself.
