Description:

Currier & Ives (American, 1834-1907), "My Little White Kitties. Playing Dominoes." 1872-74. A separately issued hand-colored lithograph by "America’s printmakers" depicting an adorable pair of fluffy snow-white kitty cats playing with dominoes - perhaps knocking down a tower built by a child of the home. In addition to the endearing subject matter, the balanced composition and stunning color palette are characteristic of the talents possessed by Currier & Ives. Notice how the bright blue eyes of the kittens pick up the azure and royal blue hues of the curtain and chair in the background. A wonderful piece, perfect for any cat lover. Size: image measures 8" L x 12.75" W (20.3 cm x 32.4 cm)

From 1834 to 1907 the firm of Nathaniel Currier and (after 1856) Currier & Ives provided for the American people a wide and varied gallery of prints for the new mass market of middle class society. The firm was the most successful American popular printmaker, issuing over 8,000 different prints. Their success was the result of their good business sense and their accurate instincts of what the American public wanted. Their images have become classics, capturing the life and times of nineteenth century America.
