Titled *The Home of the Soul*, this lithograph carries a devotional phrase that speaks to the Christian hope of a final resting place for the faithful. It was published in New York around 1876 by Currier & Ives, the firm that dominated American popular printmaking for much of the nineteenth century, selling inexpensive lithographs to households across the country. Prints that paired religious sentiment with domestic feeling were hung in parlors and homes, which makes them a useful window into the moral tastes of the Centennial era.
