Those Beloved Colored Lithographs
AMERICAN PRINTS are deservedly
popular. They are a dramatic pic-
torial record of events, places, per-
sons, manner and dress, as well as
sports and occupations during the
first century of life in these United
States. For example, prints of the
early American railroads tell the
story of the winning of the West.
They show a wealth of interesting
details, such as wood-burning loco-
motives, ornate but diminutive pas-
senger coaches, depot restaurants
where through trains stopped “twen-
ty minutes for lunch,” thus giving
basis for the complaint of Rudyard
Kipling that “the American never
dines, but stuffs for..ten minutes
thrice daily.”
them were published between the
1860s and 1880s. Acquiring one, or
more of them is like gathering any
other piece of Americana. You be-
gin by selecting the subject that ap-
peals to you. It may be race horses,
country scenes similar to the one
illustrated, or any of the many sub-
jects embraced by these prints. Then
you look for what you want in deal-
ers’ shops and elsewhere. As time
goes on you discover which are the
rare prints. Gradually you learn the
fine points of condition. Tears, trim-
ming, stains, foxing and eleanness
and brilliancy become terms instead
of mere words.
Of course a tear is where the
paper has been torn in handling.

AMERICAN HOME, WINTER
This is one of the best of the Currier & Ives small folio Winter Scenes.
It is much less expensive than their large size winter scenes, practically
all of which were done from paintings by Durrie, the New Haven, Con-
necticut artist (1820-1863). His most famous large folio “Home for Thanks-
giving” is now one of the expensive American lithographs and is cheap at
$500 if you can find a copy in good condition.
These prints are of various kinds
and’ sorts. There are copper plate
engravings, wood cuts, and litho-
graphs. The latter were usually col-
ored by hand, many of them by
young women who worked from a
master copy. There were also steel
engravings where, as the name indi-
cates, a plate of steel was the ma-
terial on which the picture was de-
lineated.
Some bring a high price today be-
cause of their rarity; others, often
older and just as interesting and sig-
nificant, are quite inexpensive be-
cause they are easy to find. At a
farmhouse 1 once bought a print of
an American clipper ship under full
sail for two dollars and the owner
felt so much over-paid that he in-
sisted on giving me a plump roast-
ing chicken as well. 1 might add that
this transaction took place quite a
long time ago. Today such a print
is worth $35 and up.
Although a 19th Century product,
American prints rank as antiques.
This despite the fact that many of
Sometimes the damage is repaired
so skillfully that it is hard to detect
it, but a print in this condition should
not be priced as high as the same
one with the paper untorn. Trim-
ming refers to where the margins
have been cut for framing or other
reasons, thus making the margin of
white paper smaller than it was
originally. There are many ways in
which a print may have been stained.
Often it was the result of framing
without adequate backing so that
here and there the print became
streaked from the cracks of the wood -
that held it in place or from a crack
in the glass protecting it. Foxing is
a technical term referring to the
brownish blotches that develop in
paper because of dampness or air
conditions. Cleanness and brilliance
being positive virtues, are readily
recognized.
Finally, references to folios, small,
large and elephant, are just another
way of stating that these lithographs
came in three sizes, determined by
that of the paper or folio used for
printing them.
