"A Poultry Show on the Road" (1883) is a chromolithograph by Currier and Ives, a renowned American printmaking firm. The print depicts a humorous scene of a carriage pulled by a horse and mule transporting chickens and other fowl along a country road. The carriage is occupied by a well-dressed couple, while a Black man drives the animals. This playful scene is a popular example of the humorous lithographs for which Currier and Ives were known, reflecting the humor and social dynamics of the time.
