This allegorical lithograph shows a dying Christian attended by Christ and angels, a scene that treats death as a passage to heaven rather than an ending. Lithographs like this, painted by N. E. Talcott and printed by J. H. Bufford, were colored by hand and sold as pictures for the home. Deathbed imagery of this kind was popular in the 1840s, when many American families displayed devotional prints that offered comfort during illness and loss. The image reflects the period's sentimental piety, in which a peaceful, well-attended death was seen as a sign of faith.
