"The Little Recruit" is a notable lithograph produced 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 captured various aspects of 19th-century American life. "The Little Recruit" is one of their many works that reflect the social and cultural milieu of the time.

This particular lithograph, like many others from Currier & Ives, is characterized by its detailed and vibrant depiction of a young boy dressed in a military uniform, embodying the spirit of patriotism and the romanticized view of military life that was prevalent during the era. The image likely resonated with the public during times of conflict, such as the Civil War, when themes of duty, honor, and national pride were especially poignant.

Currier & Ives' prints were known for their accessibility, often being sold at affordable prices and distributed widely, making art available to the broader public. Their works covered a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, historical events, and everyday scenes, and "The Little Recruit" fits within their tradition of creating evocative and appealing imagery that captured the American spirit.

The firm employed skilled artists and lithographers who contributed to the high quality and enduring appeal of their prints. The attention to detail and the ability to convey emotion and narrative through their images were hallmarks of Currier & Ives' success. "The Little Recruit" remains a testament to their craftsmanship and their role in shaping American visual culture during the 19th century.
