Ca1870 ROCKY MOUNTAIN BUFFALO WESTERN AMERICANA CURRIER & IVES LITHOGRAPH PRINT
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:1307627 |
Very Rare and original, ca1870 Currier & Ives Hand Colored Western Americana Subject, Stone Lithograph titled “The Rocky Mountains”. This outstanding and highly sought after Currier & Ives image measures approx. 12 1/2” by 8 1/2” (image area) plus significant margins on all edges. It is undated but marked "Published by Currier & Ives / 125 Nassau St. New York". The Lithograph is housed in a mid-20th century double French matt and frame with the label of the Old Prin...t Shop of New York City on the reverse (overall size of framed display is 20 1/2” by 17 1/2”).
This wonderful Western Americana View is among the most desirable Small Folio Currier & Ives. The Image depicts a a bird’s-eye-view of a lush valley in the Rocky Mountains with a herd of Buffalo (Bison) visible on the floor of the valley and two Buffalo in the foreground climbing down from a rock outcrop. The Bison are somewhat odd looking with “manes” that resemble furry lions – this is likely due to the fact that the vast majority of the artists who worked for Currier & Ives never traveled west of the Mississippi and never visited the Plains but had to rely on written accounts of the appearance of buffalo to create their designs.
This very rare and quite wonderful Currier & Ives Western Americana Hand Colored Stone Lithograph is in excellent condition - the coloring is bright and vibrant and the image area is crisp and clean and exceptionally well preserved. There is no damage or repairs of any kind. Although we have not examined the Lithograph out of the frame, the wide French Matt attests to the fact that the original margins are significantly wide. The visible margins are generally quite clean with some very light foxing at the lower right hand corner of the visible area. Overall the sheet is exceptionally well preserved and displays beautifully.
Please Note: This Lithograph is 100%, unconditionally guaranteed to be an original, ca1870 printing by Currier & Ives and not a re-strike, reprint or reproduction of any kind.
