The sloop of war *Albany*, armed with 22 guns, is the subject here, and the print shows the ship under sail as a warship of the American navy. Nathaniel Currier published it in New York between 1835 and 1856, before his partnership with James Merritt Ives. Sloops of war like the *Albany* were the workhorses of the antebellum navy, cruising distant waters to protect American commerce and show the flag. Hand-colored lithographs of such ships sold well to a public eager to see the vessels that carried the nation's interests abroad.
