*Cherry-time* is one of the seasonal country scenes that Currier & Ives issued from New York in 1866, when the firm was producing inexpensive lithographs for a broad market. The title points to the cherry harvest, a rural subject the firm returned to often because city buyers liked images of farm life they rarely saw firsthand. The print is listed as number 1121 in the 1983 Gale Research catalog raisonné of Currier & Ives, which makes it easy to place among the firm's other 1860s output.
