The title, *The rabbit hunt: all but caught*, promises a moment of near success rather than a finished chase, which gives the scene its tension. N. Currier published it in New York around 1849, when his firm was producing inexpensive lithographs for a broad public that hung them in parlors, taverns, and country kitchens. Sporting and rural subjects like this one were especially popular with buyers who saw hunting and farm life as part of American identity. The print is listed as number 5459 in the Gale Research catalog raisonné of Currier & Ives, a standard reference for dating their output.
