The title, "Winter Sunday in olden times," points to a nostalgic scene that pairs a church with sleds and sleighs, the kind of journey a rural or small-town family might make to Sunday service in snow. The print is a chromolithograph, made by layering several lithographic stones, each inked in a different color, to build up a full-color image. Boston publisher F. Gleason issued many such prints around 1875, when color lithography was becoming a popular and affordable way to decorate parlors and homes. Pictures like this one reflect a growing taste for sentimental scenes of old-fashioned life.
