How can I tell if my Currier and Ives print is real?
To tell if your Currier and Ives print is real, make sure that the print has the proper information. A genuine print will show the title and the publisher name as either "N. Currier" or "Currier Ives". You may also find a publication address, a copyright notice and a catalog number on some pieces. You'll find a selection of expertly vetted Currier and Ives print prints on 1stDibs.
