"Good Times On The Old Plantation" is a lithograph created by the renowned American printmaking firm Currier & Ives. Established in 1834 by Nathaniel Currier and later joined by James Merritt Ives in 1857, Currier & Ives became famous for their affordable and widely distributed prints that depicted various aspects of 19th-century American life. The firm produced a vast array of images, including landscapes, historical events, and scenes of everyday life, which were popular among the American public.

"Good Times On The Old Plantation" is one of the many prints produced by Currier & Ives that reflects the social and cultural attitudes of its time. The lithograph portrays an idealized and romanticized view of life on a Southern plantation, often featuring African American figures in a manner that is now recognized as problematic and reflective of the racial prejudices of the era. Such depictions were common in Currier & Ives' work and catered to the nostalgic and often distorted perceptions of antebellum Southern life held by many Americans, particularly in the North.

The image typically shows African American individuals engaged in leisure activities, dancing, playing music, or participating in communal gatherings, set against the backdrop of a plantation. These scenes were intended to evoke a sense of harmony and contentment, glossing over the harsh realities of slavery and the systemic oppression faced by African Americans. Today, "Good Times On The Old Plantation" is studied not only as a piece of art but also as a historical artifact that offers insight into the racial attitudes and cultural narratives of 19th-century America.

The work of Currier & Ives, including "Good Times On The Old Plantation," remains significant for its impact on American visual culture and its role in shaping public perceptions of historical events and social issues. However, contemporary analysis of such works necessitates a critical examination of the context in which they were created and the ideologies they perpetuated.
