"Clipper Ship Dreadnought" is a lithograph print created by the American printmaking firm Currier & Ives, which was active from 1834 to 1907. The print depicts the famed clipper ship Dreadnought, which was renowned for its speed and was a symbol of American maritime prowess during the mid-19th century. The Dreadnought was built by Currier & Ives' contemporary, the shipbuilder Samuel Hartt Pook, and launched in 1853 from Newburyport, Massachusetts. It was designed for the rapid transport of goods and passengers across the Atlantic Ocean, and it became famous for its record-breaking passages.

The lithograph by Currier & Ives captures the Dreadnought in full sail, cutting through the waves, and is representative of the firm's body of work, which often celebrated American achievements and scenes of daily life. Currier & Ives, founded by Nathaniel Currier and later joined by James Merritt Ives, was known for producing hand-colored lithographs that were affordable and widely distributed, making art accessible to the American middle class.

As a piece of historical maritime art, "Clipper Ship Dreadnought" not only showcases the technical and aesthetic qualities of the vessel but also reflects the era's commercial ambitions and the importance of clipper ships in international trade and transportation. The print remains a valuable document of the period and is sought after by collectors of maritime history and 19th-century American art.

The lithograph is part of the larger collection of Currier & Ives prints, which are held in various museums, libraries, and private collections around the world. The firm's work has been the subject of numerous exhibitions and scholarly research, contributing to the understanding of American visual culture and the popular art of the time.
