A small group of Native Americans camped out with teepees up and canoes. Currier & Ives present Yosemite in all its splendor, focusing on a flowing waterfall cascading down a mountain. It was scenes such as this that encouraged the idea of Manifest Destiny and inspired Easterners to travel west to view the beauty of their country." This is a Print from a vintage Art Book.

About the Illustrators: Nathaniel Currier (1813-1888) and James Merritt Ives (1824-1895) were partners in the firm of Currier and Ives, the most important 19th-century lithographic company in America. Their prints were widely sold across the nation. Nathaniel Currier, born in Roxbury, Mass., was apprenticed in his teens to a Boston lithographic firm. He established his own lithography business in New York City in 1835. The lithographer James Ives, born in New York City, entered into partnership with Currier in 1857. Currier retired in 1888, Ives a few years later; but the firm was carried on by their sons and flourished until 1907. Lithography had begun in America in the 1820s. It was quicker and less expensive than engraving, hence the remarkable success of the firm of Currier and Ives. Soon after setting up business they produced extensive folios, usually based on paintings. Some of the work was crude, but the quality varied considerably. WE ACCEPT MOST OFFERS.
