My Sweetheart" is a hand-colored lithograph issued by Currier & Ives, the New York firm that sold sentimental and genre scenes to a broad American public from the 1850s into the early 1900s. The record dates it only to a span between 1856 and 1907, so its exact year of publication is unknown. Its catalog entry in *Currier & Ives: A catalog Raisonné* (Gale Research, 1983) is no. 4730, which helps researchers locate related prints. Firms like this one typically added color by hand, often in workshops where many impressions were finished in sequence, so a print's tones can vary from copy to copy.
