Currier & Ives Squirrel Shooting Original 1850s Lithograph 152 Nassau St Framed
Title: "Squirrel Shooting"
Publisher: Currier & Ives (152 Nassau St., New York)
Date of Publication: c. 1852–1856
Medium: Antique Hand-Colored Lithograph on Wove Paper
Description:
Up for sale is an authentic, original mid-19th-century small-folio lithograph titled "Squirrel Shooting," published by the legendary firm Currier & Ives. This vibrant woodland hunting scene depicts hunters and tracking dogs targeting squirrels in a large oak tree.
This is a guaranteed period original, not a modern reproduction. The lower margin explicitly features the historically accurate "152 Nassau St. New York" address, used by the firm during the mid-1850s.
Authenticity Details Verified:
Printing Technique: Examined under high magnification—features the distinct, irregular crayon-like texture of a true stone lithograph and hand-applied watercolor washes. No modern CMYK mechanical dot patterns.
Dimensions: The printed image area measures approximately 12 ⅜” wide by 9 ¼” high, perfectly matching the known paper-shrinkage profiles of authentic 19th-century small folios.
Presentation: Housed in an elegant vintage frame that beautifully accents the classic Americana aesthetic.
Condition:
Excellent antique condition. The paper shows beautiful, even, natural age toning with minimal foxing or staining. Colors remain well-preserved and crisp. One minor tear at top center, likely from antique nail deterioration. Frame shows minor age-appropriate wear. (Please review all high-resolution photos for close-up details).
