<p>[QUOTE="CoreyP, post: 9845708, member: 87524"]This Currier and Ives print came from my grandparents house. After the research I've done, I'm not holding my breath it is an original, but if anyone on here knows much about their prints and reproductions, I'd love to try to know more. </p><p>Here are a few details- the paper size is 12" by 16". The print size is 9.5" by 13.5". Upon removing it from the frame, the paper seems to be stuck to the cardboard backing. The lower left corner was not secured, so I wonder if that is just something that happened because of age. The paper has quite a bit of texture, but doesn't seem to be very thick, from what I can tell. </p><p>It appears hand colored, and when I hold it at an angle to the light, the colored parts look to have a different texture than the other parts. </p><p>I have read about later reproductions having "dots" in the printing. I am not positive exactly what the dots would look like, but under magnifying glass, I see texture , but not necessarily dots. I definitely don't see dots in the title. </p><p>It could be a dead giveaway, but there is no address under the picture, which I see in other of the original prints online. </p><p>Attached are various pictures, some close-up to try to show detail. </p><p>I look forward to any info available.
