<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> </em></td></tr><tr> <td width="100%"> Wonderful portrait of Goerge Washington by Currier & Ives. This print is double matted and framed with the antique frame. There is great detail in the Presidents features. Total size is 17 x 20 inches. 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. This work is a perfect example of the wonderful work the Currier & Ives company has produced.
