DESCRIPTION: A classic Currier & Ives domestic genre print that plays on the firm’s enduring popularity of anthropomorphic animal scenes. Issued in the late 19th century, Three Jolly Kittens: After the Feast belongs to a group of small folio “kittens” and “puppies” prints marketed for family parlors, nurseries, and middle-class homes. The image shows three plump kittens gathered around the remnants of an overindulgent meal—an intentionally humorous tableau that reflects Currier & Ives’ instinct for lighthearted storytelling and accessible charm.
