Good little girl" is a lithograph issued by Currier & Ives in New York around 1871, and its title alone signals the moralizing sentiment that sold so well in the firm's domestic scenes. The print is recorded in the Gale Research catalog raisonné of the firm's work, which lists it under number 2639. Currier & Ives made inexpensive color lithographs like this for middle-class American homes in the decades after the Civil War, when images of virtuous children and family life were especially popular. Looking at it today, you can see how such prints taught ideals of obedience and gentle conduct as much as they recorded everyday life.
