Kiss Me Quick!" is a playful title for a love-themed print, and its exclamation point hints at the lighthearted, flirtatious tone that popular lithographers favored. The image comes from Currier & Ives, the New York firm that dominated American popular printmaking from the 1850s into the early 1900s. Its chromolithographs used a multistone process to add color to mass-produced sheets, which made lively scenes affordable for ordinary households. Such prints were often hung in parlors and sold through shops and street vendors, so they reflected the sentiments and humor of their time as much as the artists' skill.
