- Lot Description
Currier & Ives (American, 1834-1907), "A Squall Off Cape Horn." 1872-74. A separately issued hand-colored lithograph by "America’s printmakers" depicting a ship weathering a snow storm. Referring to a similar Currier & Ives image, the Springfield Museums curatorial department stated, "Americans were proud of the ability of their clipper ships to quickly travel to and from seaports around the world. The ships sailed in all sorts of weather, including hurricanes and snowstorms, such as the one pictured in this lithograph. The design of this image may have been influenced by the aesthetic of Japanese prints. Japan opened its doors to the West in the 1860s and prints and other Japanese objects were of great interest when they arrived in western ports. Japanese designs became fashionable and many artists used the eastern aesthetic in their work." (https://springfieldmuseums.org/collections/item/a-clipper-ship-in-a-snow-squall-currier-ives/) Size: image measures 8.875" W x 12.5" H (22.5 cm x 31.8 cm); 15" L x 18" W (38.1 cm x 45.7 cm) with portfolio
From 1834 to 1907, the firm of Nathaniel Currier and (after 1856) Currier & Ives (American, 1834-1907) provided for the American people a wide and varied gallery of prints for the new mass market of middle class society. The firm was the most successful American popular printmaker, issuing over 8,000 different prints. Their success was the result of their good business sense and their accurate instincts of what the American public wanted. Their images have become classics, capturing the life and times of nineteenth century America.
