These Currier and Ive's lithographs have been reproduced many times since the 1920's, it will require a physical appraisal to determine if it's an original or a reproduction/reprint.

From what I've been reading, if under a microscope you see dots, then it's a reproduction. Is this correct? If so, this lithograph does not have dots. Pardon my ignorance, this is the first time I've looked into a Currier & Ives lithograph or any lithograph for that matter.

Thanks for commenting.

Technically, all lithographs are "prints" or are produced in multiples (reproductions). You're right, if you see dots, those are offset lithographs and are mass produced by computer and don't have much in the way of value. I'd call yours a chromolithograph as it is in color. I searched and searched to find a recent sale/auction of "Snipe Shooting" and no success. I did find many C & I lithographs sold at auction, ranging from $1.00 to over $600.00. The priciest were ships/yachts.
Yours is a nice subject -- who doesn't like dogs?
