Currier & Ives produced this lithograph around 1872, when the firm was turning out a steady stream of sporting and outdoor scenes for a middle-class market eager to see the pleasures of rural life. Its title, "Just Caught: Trout and Pickerel," points to the angler's moment of triumph, with the day's catch laid out for admiration. Fishing subjects like this one were popular in the period, reflecting a growing interest in recreation and the American countryside. The print is catalogued as no. 3585 in the Gale Research catalog raisonné of the firm's work, a reference that makes it easy to trace among the many similar lithographs the company issued.
