This hand-colored lithograph is distinguished by its bilingual title, with French and Spanish texts printed alongside the English-style heading, which suggests it was meant for Catholic buyers beyond English-speaking households. It shows the Sacred Heart of Mary, a devotion centered on the Virgin Mary's heart as a symbol of her faith and maternal love, and it reflects the wide Catholic following that Currier & Ives tapped in an era of heavy immigration. The firm, based in New York, issued inexpensive color prints for a mass market from the 1850s into the early 1900s, and religious subjects formed one of its steady lines. The print is catalogued in the firm's standard reference, which lists it as number 5725.
