Its caption is printed in English, Spanish and French, with "la virjen Maria" and "la sainte vierge" beside the title, which sets it apart from many single-language religious prints of the period. Nathaniel Currier issued it from New York around 1848, when his firm was producing inexpensive lithographs for a wide public, and this copy was colored by hand after printing. The multilingual text suggests the publisher expected buyers beyond English speakers, a sign of how far devotional images traveled in the mid-nineteenth century.
