Among the portraits of biblical figures in this gallery, this hand-colored lithograph stands out for its focus on Aaron, the brother of Moses and the first high priest of ancient Israel. Published in New York by H. Schile around 1874, it belongs to a wave of popular religious prints that gave American households vivid images of scriptural characters. The record ties the work to Jewish spiritual life and the priesthood, so it reflects how Victorian-era printmakers presented Hebrew Bible figures to a general audience. Hand coloring, applied to a lithograph, was a common way to lend such images a richer look.
