Little White Kitties: Fishing — Currier & Ives

Little White Kitties: Fishing captures two fluffy white kittens investigating a glass bowl filled with brilliantly colored fish. One kitten reaches toward the bowl while its companion peers closely over the rim, creating a playful moment of curiosity and quiet mischief. Orange and yellow fish provide a vivid focal point against the kittens’ pale fur, deep red drapery, and patterned carpet.

Published by Currier & Ives in New York in 1871, the image is a hand-colored lithograph from the popular American printmaking tradition of the nineteenth century. Its carefully staged domestic setting, expressive animal subjects, and restrained palette give the scene both period character and an enduring graphic charm.
