Seller's Description
Original 1952 Reprint 13 1/2 inch x 8 1/2 inch Colour Print of the Lithograph titled UNITED STATES CAPITOL, Washington, D.C.
United States Capitol building at center with people walking and horse and carriages moving on ground in front.
Originally produced in 1869 by Currier and Ives. The New York firm of Currier & Ives grew from a printing business established by Nathaniel Currier (1813–1888) in 1835. Expansion led, in 1857, to a partnership with brother-in-law James Merritt Ives (1824–1895). The firm operated until 1907, lithographing over 4,000 subjects for distribution across America and Europe with popular categories including landscape, marines, natural history, genre, caricatures, portraits, history and foreign views. Until the 1880s, images were printed in monochrome, then hand-colored by women who worked for the company at home.
