What sets this lithograph apart is its biblical subject: Adam stands among a crowd of animals in Eden, naming them as the book of Genesis describes. The title appears in both English and Spanish, *Adam naming the creatures* and *Adam llamo los animales*. Nathaniel Currier published it in New York in 1847, roughly a decade before he formed his partnership with James Merritt Ives, and the firm's reputation rests largely on hand-colored prints like this one, which reached a wide public at modest prices.
