Currier & Ives American Homestead Seasons’ series

Currier & Ives American Homestead Seasons Series

My grandparents gave these to me when they were downsizing years ago.  They hung on the wall in their den for decades.  I’ve reviewed the Conningham book and a few other Internet resources to determine whether these are original lithographic prints and am inclined to believe that yes, they are.

Counterpoint for consideration: My spouse insists that the closeup view looks like “they were made on a machine.”  The prints themselves would predate modern dot matrices given how long they lived with my grandparents’, but it’s possible that given the popularity of the series, these could be prints reproductions from the 1970s or the 1940s or the early 1900s.  

Anyway, let me know if you want to discuss with us.  Thanks 😊 

Good
