The only identifying detail this print offers is the name Rosanna, a first name with no surname, date or occupation attached, so the woman pictured remains unidentified. It came from the New York shop of Nathaniel Currier, who began his lithography business in 1835 and sold inexpensive prints to a broad middle-class public. Color on prints like this was usually applied by hand through stencils, so two impressions of the same image can look quite different. The 1983 Gale Research catalog of Currier & Ives lists it as number 5638.
