<p>[QUOTE="Pat Dennis, post: 4160860, member: 15280"]In the 1960s, Currier and Ives's prints were very popular when the decorating trend was Early American. There was a calendar and book published both of which can still be easily found. Many of the calendar prints were later sold as originals. C&I prints were made by stone lithography and hand-painted. Therefore, you will not find the dots of modern printing on the originals. However, their popularity rose after WWI and many re-stikes were printed. That might be what you have. I noticed the letters are not strongly printed. The stone lithos had a limit on the number of strong prints that could be handed pulled. Since what I have written is from memory as a small collector, I would not testify in court or call myself an expert. LOL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
