I have been captivated by the works of Currier and Ives since childhood. This volume presents a good cross-section of their work. Albeit a stylised view of the world, the seasons, moments in history, and nineteenth century America, it is one which is both unique and wells up imagination! This book looks across the periods of time that are America. It is a great way to introduce one into the world of these two newspaper men who become artists in their own right. I am glad to have found such a sound copy of this "classic" of classics!

I purchased this book for specific pictures. I am a hunter and fisherman and love to see pictures of those sports during earlier days. I also enjoy the pictures of the ships and boats. Not wanting to spend a fortune as well as not clutter up my walls, this is one of the easiest and best ways to have what you want. A beautiful book. [Google Books]
