"American Hunting Scenes: A Good Chance" and "Brook Trout Fishing: An Anxious Moment" are two notable lithographs produced by the American printmaking firm Currier & Ives, known for their prolific output of hand-colored lithographs depicting various aspects of 19th-century American life. These prints, cataloged as Gale numbers 186 and 789 respectively, are part of a larger series that captures the essence of American outdoor sporting activities, which were popular themes for Currier & Ives.

Currier & Ives, founded by Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives, operated from 1834 to 1907 and became one of the most successful American print publishers of the time. Their work catered to the middle class, offering affordable and decorative art that often portrayed idealized versions of contemporary life, including scenes of leisure, landscapes, historical events, and sports.

"American Hunting Scenes: A Good Chance" depicts a moment in a hunting expedition, likely intended to resonate with the firm's clientele who were enthusiasts of the sport or who romanticized the rugged outdoor life of the American wilderness. The image would typically show hunters in a natural setting, possibly poised to take a shot at game, with attention to detail in both the figures and the surrounding landscape.

"Brook Trout Fishing: An Anxious Moment," on the other hand, captures the tension and excitement inherent in fishing, another leisure activity enjoyed by many Americans of the era. The print would typically illustrate a fisherman carefully attempting to reel in a brook trout, a common and prized catch in North American streams. The artwork not only highlights the angler's concentration and the beauty of the trout but also the serene and picturesque environment of the fishing scene.

Both prints are representative of Currier & Ives' ability to blend artistic craftsmanship with commercial appeal, creating works that were not only visually appealing but also resonated with the cultural interests and aspirations of their audience. The lithographs serve as valuable historical documents, reflecting the leisure pursuits and societal values of 19th-century America, and continue to be appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts of Americana.

As with many Currier & Ives prints, "American Hunting Scenes: A Good Chance" and "Brook Trout Fishing: An Anxious Moment" were likely produced in multiple versions, with variations in coloring and size, to suit the tastes and budgets of a wide range of customers. Today, these prints are studied for their artistic merit as well as their cultural significance, offering insights into the recreational pastimes and visual culture of the period.
