Frozen up" is a New York lithograph issued by Currier & Ives around 1872, and its title points to a winter subject, though the record does not describe the scene in detail. The firm produced large numbers of inexpensive color prints in the 1870s, many of them domestic and seasonal scenes aimed at middle-class households that wanted affordable images for the parlor or kitchen. Cataloged in the firm's standard reference, *Currier & Ives: A catalog Raisonné*, the print reflects how the company turned everyday life, including the cold months, into familiar and marketable imagery.
