"The Four Seasons of Life: Childhood – The Season of Joy" is a print created by the American lithographer James Merritt Ives (1824–1895), who was one half of the celebrated 19th-century printmaking firm Currier and Ives. Known for their prolific output of hand-colored lithographs that depicted various aspects of American life, Currier and Ives produced prints that were widely distributed and popular in the homes of middle-class Americans.

This particular print, "Childhood – The Season of Joy," is part of a series that illustrates the four stages of human life through the metaphor of the four seasons. In this image, Ives captures the essence of childhood as a time of happiness and innocence, often idealized in the Victorian era. The artwork typically features a bucolic setting with children engaged in playful activities, surrounded by the blossoming beauty of spring, which symbolizes the freshness and promise of early life.

As with many Currier and Ives prints, "Childhood – The Season of Joy" would have been produced through a lithographic process that involved drawing the image on a stone with a grease pencil and then printing it onto paper. The prints were then hand-colored by a team of artisans. This collaborative process between the artist, lithographer, and colorists resulted in vibrant scenes that resonated with the American public.

The Four Seasons of Life series, including "Childhood – The Season of Joy," reflects the Victorian era's values and perspectives on family, morality, and the passage of time. These prints are not only significant as works of art but also as cultural artifacts that offer insight into the social norms and sentiments of 19th-century America. Today, they are studied for their historical value and are considered collectible items for those interested in American art and history.
