Original authentic lithograph print by the Currier & Ives company. This is a wonderful piece for any collector. It is in great condition and has the hand coloring the company was known for. It shows a young boy dressed in his sunday best surrounded by a wild rose bush. He has a delightful smile on his perfectly rendered face. This portrait of a young boy comes in a washed gold frame which fits the theme wonderfully. A garnet mat marbled with gold surrounds the image. Image size is 8 x 11. A title cut opening displays " Little Brother". The firm of Currier & Ives, the most famous lithographers in America, was founded by Nathaniel Currier at 1 Wall Street in 1834. In 1852 Currier engaged as a bookkeeper James Merrit Ives, who had recently married into the family. An artist in his own right and with business acumen and a critical eye for technical perfection, it was not surprising he was made a partner in 1857. It was at this time that the now familiar term "Currier & Ives" came into being. The firm prospered until the deaths of Currier in 1888 and James Ives seven years later. Their sons headed the firm until 1907 when advances in lithography and uninspired management forced them to close. Works by Currier and Ives are higly sought and very valuable, both for their historic and artistic value. Their value continues to increase daily.
