"Currier & Ives: Capturing the Essence of American History and Culture" Step back in time with Currier & Ives, the renowned lithograph firm that beautifully depicted significant moments in American history. From thrilling steamboat races to political milestones, their artwork transported viewers to pivotal events that shaped the nation. In 1870, the Great Mississippi Steamboat Race between the Robert E. Lee and the Natchez captivated audiences as they raced from New Orleans to St. Louis. The Robert E. Lee emerged victorious after an intense journey lasting 3 days, 18 hours, and 14 minutes - a triumph immortalized by Currier & Ives. The lithograph titled "The Favorite Cat, " created by Nathaniel Currier himself, showcases his talent beyond historical scenes. This undated piece captures a charming feline companion with intricate details that bring it to life on paper. In 1872, Currier & Ives celebrated another milestone when they depicted "The First Colored Senators and Representatives in the 41st. " This powerful image symbolizes progress and equality during a transformative period in American politics. "Home to Thanksgiving, " a lithograph from 1867, evokes warmth and nostalgia as families gather around a bountiful table for this cherished holiday celebration. It reflects America's enduring tradition of gratitude amidst challenging times. Sail away into maritime history with "America's Cup" races captured by Currier & Ives. In one such race held in September 1886, "The Mayflower" sailed past its competitors while being saluted by an admiring fleet - an exhilarating moment preserved through vibrant colors on lithographic paper. Traveling further back in time brings us face-to-face with Patrick Henry's iconic speech on colonial rights before Virginia Assembly convened at Richmond on March 23rd, 1775. The lithograph from 1876 portrays Henry passionately delivering his famous words, "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death. ".
