A print bearing the words "This house is consecrated to the sacred heart of Jesus" declares a household's faith in its own text, the kind of sentiment families hung near a door or in a parlor. The Sacred Heart was a central devotion in Catholic life through the nineteenth century, and many families in the United States and Europe formally dedicated their homes to it. The print dates to about 1874 and carries a U.S. Copyright Office reference. Its maker is recorded only as a possible "Kelly, T.," so that attribution remains uncertain.
