Currier & Ives was a prominent American printmaking firm based in New York City that operated from 1834 to 1907. The company was founded by Nathaniel Currier, who later partnered with James Merritt Ives in 1857. Currier & Ives became renowned for their production of affordable, hand-colored lithographs that depicted a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, historical events, portraits, and scenes of everyday life. These prints were marketed as "colored engravings for the people" and were immensely popular in 19th-century America, providing a visual record of the era's cultural and social milieu.

The lithographs produced by Currier & Ives are characterized by their vibrant colors, attention to detail, and often idealized portrayals of American life. The firm employed a team of skilled artists, lithographers, and colorists who worked together to create these prints. Notable artists associated with Currier & Ives include Frances Flora Bond Palmer, Arthur Fitzwilliam Tait, and Louis Maurer, among others. These artists would create the initial drawings, which were then transferred onto lithographic stones for printing. The prints were subsequently hand-colored by a team of colorists, many of whom were women.

Currier & Ives prints covered a wide array of themes, from bucolic rural scenes and dramatic maritime disasters to political satire and sentimental domestic vignettes. Their works often reflected contemporary interests and events, such as the American Civil War, westward expansion, and technological advancements like the steam locomotive. The firm's ability to produce high-quality prints at relatively low costs made their works accessible to a broad audience, cementing their place in American visual culture.

Today, Currier & Ives lithographs are highly collectible and are considered valuable artifacts of 19th-century American art and history. They are held in numerous museum collections and continue to be studied for their artistic merit and historical significance.
