The title, *Going for him*, suggests a dog bent on a pursuit, and this hand-colored lithograph, published by Currier & Ives in New York around 1868, captures that eager energy. The firm produced large numbers of inexpensive color prints for a middle-class market that enjoyed sporting and animal scenes. The artist, John Cameron, signed his name on the image itself. Color was typically applied by hand, often through stencils, so each impression varies slightly in tone.
