Little Dot" is a hand-colored lithograph published in New York by Currier & Ives around 1872, and it is catalogued as number 3887 in the firm's standard catalog raisonné. The Currier & Ives firm sold inexpensive popular prints to a broad American public, and its sentimental scenes of childhood were among its most reliable sellers. Colors on prints like this were usually applied by hand, often by teams of women and girls working from stencils, so each impression could vary slightly in tone. The print belongs to the genre of everyday domestic subjects that defined the firm's later output.
