Mr. Currier & Mr. Ives!

Location: Yonge and College /downtown Toronto Cash only; prices are firm. In this engaging text, Russel Crouse brings to vibrant life the remarkable partnership that created America's most beloved pictorial record of 19th-century life. From their modest beginnings as "Currier & Ives, Printmakers to the American People," to their eventual status as the creators of over 7,000 iconic lithographs, Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives captured the heart and imagination of a growing nation. Their images of pastoral landscapes, racing horses, winter scenes, clipper ships, and everyday life became a mirror of American society, documenting both the grand sweep of history and the quiet moments of domestic life. This is a window into an era when art first became accessible to the American masses. - Mr. Currier and Mr. Ives - Russel Crouse Published 1937, Garden City Publishing Co., New York Dust-jacket is pretty trashed; book itself is in good condition.
