1978 Currier & Ives – The Clipper Yacht America – Vintage Book Print

Currier and Ives was a successful American printmaking firm headed by Nathaniel Currier (1813?1888) and James Merritt Ives (1824?1895) based in New York City from 1834 to 1907. The prolific firm produced prints from paintings by fine artists as black and white lithographs that were hand colored. Lithographic prints could be reproduced quickly and purchased inexpensively, and the firm called itself “the Grand Central Depot for Cheap and Popular Prints” and advertised its lithographs as “colored engravings for the people”

This print was carefully removed from the book and is in very good condition. Original from the book and not a copy! Ready for matting and framing.

All vintage prints are subject to have some signs of aging such as browning and foxing to them. Also, since prints are taken from books/magazines, there may be one edge that is rough/foxed or with staple holes in it, but this should be rectified with a simple matte/frame. Please examine photographs and ask any questions if you are unsure of the condition of the listed item.
