Jesus speaks with a Samaritan woman at Jacob's Well, the scene from the fourth chapter of John in which he asks her for water and then tells her about living water. The French caption, "S'Entretient avec la Samaritaine," points to a European source, a common practice for American lithographers of the 1830s through 1850s, who often reworked popular European religious images for a domestic market. Nathaniel Currier, working in New York, issued prints like this one for family and parlor walls, and the hand coloring, applied by workers after printing, let each sheet vary in tone. The print shows how Biblical stories circulated widely in nineteenth-century America through inexpensive pictures.
