The title, *The Emblem of Salvation*, places this print squarely in the devotional part of the firm's output. Currier and Ives, the New York lithography house that operated from 1857 to 1907, sold inexpensive color prints to a broad American public, and religious subjects were a steady part of that trade alongside landscapes, sporting scenes and topical images. Prints like this often hung in parlors and family rooms, where a picture of faith served as both decoration and private reminder. Looking closely at its symbols and composition shows how the printmakers adapted Christian imagery to a form that could be reproduced cheaply and understood at a glance.
