Titled simply "Hooked!", this c1874 lithograph belongs to the fishing scenes that the New York firm Currier & Ives issued in the 1870s, when angling was a popular subject for its prints. The exclamation point suggests the moment a line goes taut, a sporting scene the firm used to reach a broad middle-class audience. Each impression was printed in black and then colored by hand, so the tints can differ from copy to copy. The print is listed as number 3171 in Gale Research's catalog raisonné of the firm's work.
