This print depicts baptism as a ceremony in which a person officially associates herself with the community of believers."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "This print was produced by Endicott & Swett. George Endicott (1802-1848) was born in Canton, Massachusetts. During the 1820s, prior to his partnership with Moses Swett, he worked as an ornamental painter in Baltimore, Maryland. His partner Moses Swett (1804-1838) was born in Poland. He worked for the Pendleton lithography firm as an artist and draftsman from 1826 to 1828. The partnership Endicott & Swett began in 1830 in Baltimore. Shortly after establishing their business, the two partners moved to New York. In July of 1834 the partnership dissolved, and Swett continued to work on his own in New York from 1834-1837. Endicott stayed on as the head of the company until his death in 1848. His younger brother William Endicott (1816-1851) then took over. After William Endicott died in 1851 his son and wife ran the business as Endicott & Company until 1886."}, {"label": "Location", "content": "Currently not on view"}], "creditLine": [{"label": "Credit Line", "content": "Harry T.
