ORIGINAL 'BRILLIANT NAVAL VICTORY ON THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER NEAR FORT WRIGHT, MAY 10, 1862' CURRIER & IVES LITHOGRAPH 

This is a wonderful original. I recently acquired a large collection of Currier & Ives prints and have slowly been processing them.  I have sold hundreds of Curriers over the last 2 decades and I know that the Civil War examples are highly collected so I figured I would start with listing this one.  From the research I have done, this one might be one of the rarest Civil War Currier & Ives prints I have come across. Image measures 7 3/4 x 12 1/2 inches on sheet measuring 10 x 14 1/2 inches.  It is in good condition.  The image is a strong impression with just some consistent toning and a few small spots of inconsistent toning.  Not much original hand coloring but what was done is still strong - basically the blue water was the only coloring.  As you can see the margins show some rubbing and some small loss along the outer edges.  In the frame you cant see those losses.  The print is in the original frame.  The wood backing was replaced with cardboard.  Frame measures 12 1/2 x 16 1/2 inches.  If you collect Curriers check my store for the others I am offering.  FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES - EVEN IF YOU PURCHASE BOTH!
