Currier & Ives - - probably no one depicted pure "Americana" better than the firm owned by Nathaniel Currier (1813–88) and James Merritt Ives (1824–95). They mass produced hand-colored stone lithographs depicting pure Americana scenes (e.g., American Homestead series, Mississippi River scenes, Winter scenes, Farm scenes, Horse Races, etc) in small, medium, and large folio sizes. This gallery presents some original 19th century small and large folio hand-colored stone lithographs by Currier & Ives.
