The title itself sets this sheet apart: it quotes a plea for protection through the coming day, the kind of line families often spoke at the start of the morning. N. Currier published it in New York sometime between 1835 and 1856, when his shop was producing inexpensive lithographs for a broad middle-class public. The color was applied by hand, often by workers following stencil patterns, so copies of the same design can differ in tone. The print is listed as no. 4573 in the Currier & Ives catalog raisonné.
