Spring on a rural homestead is the subject here, rendered as a hand-colored lithograph issued by Currier & Ives in New York in 1869. The firm was among the most prolific American print publishers of the nineteenth century, producing inexpensive images of farm life, landscape and domestic scenes that were sold widely to households across the country. Lithographs of this kind were colored by hand, often by a team of workers applying pigment stencil by stencil, so each impression could vary slightly in tone. The record cites the Gale Research catalog raisonné of Currier & Ives, a reference that helps researchers trace the firm's output.
