The title, *The seal of the living God, the everlasting covenant*, sets this print apart from the scenes around it on the board, pointing to a devotional image built on scriptural language rather than a particular place or event. The record gives no date, and the only name attached is Traubel, taken from the shelflist card, so the maker and purpose remain unconfirmed. Religious prints of this kind circulated widely in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, often as illustrations for sermons, household devotion, or church publications. The wording itself is the best guide to its intent, since "seal" and "covenant" were common terms in Christian devotional writing.
