Hello, this item is an original 19th-century hand-colored lithograph titled “The Ascension of Christ,” lithographed and published by Nathaniel Currier in New York. The lower margin identifies N. Currier as publisher, gives the address “152 Nassau cor. Spruce St., N.Y.,” and includes catalog number 158, all of which are consistent with Currier’s mid-19th-century popular religious prints before the better-known Currier & Ives partnership period. The image shows Christ ascending within clouds, with angels at the sides, printed in black and white and then finished with hand coloring in red, blue, grey, and flesh tones. The religious subject, small format, and intact publisher’s line make it a collectible American lithographic print, though it is more modest in value than larger Currier landscapes, historical scenes, or rare subject matter.

The print appears to be complete, with the title, publisher details, address, and number preserved. The paper shows age toning, scattered foxing, small stains, edge wear, and a small tear at the left side that does not affect the image. The colors appear relatively strong for age, which helps the value, but the staining and unframed condition keep it in the lower to moderate range for Currier religious prints. The fair market value is $150 - $300 USD.
