Titled simply *Little Sisters*, this hand-colored lithograph makes a close family bond its whole subject. New York firm Currier & Ives published it around 1875, when the company was producing large numbers of inexpensive color prints for a broad middle-class market. Sentimental scenes of childhood were among its most reliable sellers, and the hand-coloring gave each copy slightly different tones. The 1983 Gale Research catalog raisonné lists it as number 4019, which helps researchers trace the firm's output.
