Carrier and Ives February 13, 2009

This exhibit features 19th-century Currier & Ives lithographs from Ohio Historical Society's Christopher Collection. As printmakers, Currier & Ives billed themselves as Publishers of Cheap and Popular Pictures. From 1835-1907, the company produced more than a million prints by hand-colored lithography. They were credited with mass marketing art to ordinary Americans, which help pave the way for illustrators like Norman Rockwell.
