Two young girls kneel side by side in this Currier & Ives lithograph, hands folded and heads bowed in the quiet of an evening prayer, a scene the firm's publishers printed in color for the parlor wall. The title's line from the Lord's Prayer, "Hallowed be thy name," anchors the image in a devotion many Protestant families practiced at home, often at bedtime. Currier & Ives produced such sentimental pictures of childhood in large numbers from the mid-1830s through the 1880s, selling them cheaply to middle-class households across the country. The print is catalogued in the firm's standard reference, which helps place it among the many religious genre scenes the company offered.
