This hand-colored print takes up the Last Supper, the moment in the Gospels when Christ tells his disciples that one of them will betray him. Currier and Ives, the New York firm that issued inexpensive lithographs for a broad American public from the mid-1800s, produced many religious subjects alongside its scenes of landscapes, sport, and daily life. Most viewers would have known the scene through Leonardo da Vinci's famous wall painting in Milan, so a printed version offered a more affordable way to bring that image into a home. Hand coloring, often done by workers on a production line, gave each sheet a slightly different look.
