The subject is the infant St. John the Baptist, Jesus's cousin, shown as a child and often paired with a lamb or cross to hint at his later role as the herald of Christ. Currier & Ives of New York issued the print sometime between 1856 and 1907, when the firm sold sentimental and devotional lithographs to a mass market. Its color was added by hand, so each sheet varies slightly from the next. It is number 3317 in the firm's catalog raisonné.
