- Lot Description
Frances Flora Bond Palmer (American, 1812-1876). "Woodcock Shooting." New York: N. Currier, 1852. Lithograph. Original hand color. Large folio. A wonderful lithograph of a dramatic hunting scene that was separately issued by the famous American printing firm of Currier & Ives. The composition features two hunters and their dogs in a wooded setting - one hunter aiming his rifle at a flying woodcock, while the other is studying the birds during the hunt. One of the most sought after artists who worked for Currier & Ives was Francis "Fanny" Palmer. She was especially known for her depictions of sporting themes, which wealthy sportsmen in America coveted. Scholars purport that the compositions were based on scenes of her husband and his dogs. A quality example set in a protective matte. Size of lithograph: 13" L x 20.25" W (33 cm x 51.4 cm) Size of matte: 21.25" L x 27.75" W (54 cm x 70.5 cm)
From 1834 to 1907, the firm of Nathaniel Currier and (after 1856) Currier & Ives 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.
