Currier &amp; Ives: Printmakers to the American People <br>by Harry T. Peters<br><br>large hardcover in good used condition<br><br>"For half a century Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives served as "Printmakers to the American people." Today, they are still printmakers to the American people, for, in the 7500 extant prints that bear their names, a whole heritage of American tradition is caught vividly. In these prints can be found that wholesome national flavor, which makes their work the finest representation of the habits and achievement of the exciting era which witnessed the building of a great republic. <br><br>Currier and Ives were businessmen and craftsmen - Ives, at least, has some claims as an artist - but primarily they are mirrors of the national taste, weathervanes of popular opinion, reflectors of American attitudes in the years from 1835 to 1907."
