About the Item
On the Meadows, Orange County, New York – Whittredge, American Landscape c1869
This refined American landscape print titled “On the Meadows, Orange Co. N.Y.” is based on a painting by the celebrated Hudson River School artist Worthington Whittredge and was published in New York in 1869 as part of the prestigious series Gallery of Landscape Painters – American Scenery. The image captures a tranquil pastoral scene in Orange County, New York, with grazing cattle reflected in still water beneath a soft, atmospheric sky, embodying the idealized vision of the American countryside that defined mid-19th-century landscape art.
Whittredge was one of the most important American landscape painters of his generation, closely associated with the Hudson River School and admired for his sensitive handling of light, space, and mood. His work bridges the romanticism of earlier American landscape painting with a quieter, more contemplative realism. This print translates those qualities with great fidelity, preserving the calm balance and tonal subtlety of the original painting.
The engraving was executed by C. Rost using the steel engraving process, a medium that reached its highest level of refinement in the second half of the 19th century. While early steel engravings were often small and illustrative, publishers such as William Pate
Co. elevated the technique to produce larger, more ambitious compositions. The American Scenery portfolio is widely regarded as one of the finest achievements of this tradition, combining leading American artists with highly skilled engravers to create prints of exceptional quality and visual depth.
The result is a richly detailed image with crisp line work, smooth tonal transitions, and a strong decorative presence. Prints from this series are sought after by collectors of American art, Hudson River School material, and 19th-century topographical and landscape engravings, and they also appeal strongly to interior designers for their calm, horizontal compositions and historical resonance.
Condition report
Good. The paper shows noticeable light wrinkling and gentle undulation across the upper half, consistent with age and historic handling. The engraved image itself remains clear and well-preserved. The lower inscription area shows softening and fading of the printed text, making parts of the title and publication line less distinct. Full margins present. Overall toning consistent with a mid-19th-century steel engraving, with no major tears or losses.
Framing tips
This print presents beautifully in a natural wood or walnut frame with a soft off-white or warm grey mat. A slightly wider mat enhances the sense of depth and emphasizes the engraving’s delicate tonal gradations. Museum glass is recommended to protect the surface and maintain clarity.

Nathan Currier Lithograph "October Afternoon" American Country Life Series C1855
By Currier
Ives
Located in Incline Village, NV
"October Afternoon" Maintains the appropriate markings along with "New York, Published by N. Currier 152 Nassau Street.
(The firm was located here in lower Manhattan from 1837-1872)
The lithograph illustrates two men and their dog with young son (hunting rifle over shoulder) in tow, returning from the rabbit hunt with their catch being presented to the lady of the house with baby in arms. The gated mansion is in the background while geese float upon the fertile pond in the background.
In addition to the Amon Carter Museum in Dallas, an example of "Pleasures of Winter" is in:
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Bequest of Adele S. Colgate, 1962)
Museum of Fine Arts Boston (Donated by Lee M. Friedman)
The Library of Congress
The Yale University Art Gallery (Gift of Mabel Brady Garvan Collection)
Dimensions: actual= 16 1/2" h x 23 13/16" w
matte= 19 1/2" h x 25 1/4" w
folio= 21 1/4" h x 27 3/4" w
with frame= 26 1/4" h x 32 1/4" w
frame= 1 1/4" burl bird's eye maple
It is in very good all original condition; and housed and professionally mounted in a fine quality and attractive bird's eye maple wooden frame with preservation backing and frontal protective glass (important when dealing with 170 year old lithographs); it is the rare and desirable Currier large folio sheet example in fine original color. There is some slight foxing to the cream border and minor fading (see images),
The larger folios are more rare because they appealed to the wealthier sector of the population and were more expensive, thus fewer were made, albeit, knowing their more discerning customer base, there was more attention given to detail; hand coloring, and quality for example. This example has been framed and housed in museum quality conservation backing for over 80 years. I have had it professionally taken apart and I inspected the folio visually, and examined it with a black light and loop; as a result, I guarantee and can attest to the accuracy of my description of the lithograph. I then had the folio professionally remounted in it's original frame with an upgraded preservation backing (see images of original folios out of frame and for confirmation of inspection). This lithograph has no tears, no touch up paint, and no glued or taped repairs.
This is one of the four iconic and highly desirable set of lithographs made by Nathaniel Currier (1813-1888) dated 1855 from the American Country Life series. They are named;
Spring "May Morning";
Summer "Summer Evening";
Fall ""October Afternoon"; and
Winter "Pleasures of Winter".
The lithograph was produced from the painting of well known artist Frances (Fanny) Flora (Bond Palmer (1812-1876). She painted typical American scenes of daily American life that were used by Currier for years to come. She was an accomplished artist by the time she migrated to the United States from England, and Currier commissioned her to do the country scenes for this series. Each of the original images are toned lithographs with applied hand painted watercolor.
The lithograph reflects an affluent life style, showcasing grandiose homes and glamorizing the rural way of living as urban areas became more densely populated with the tidal wave and arrival of immigrants. Nathaniel Currier began his lithograph business in 1835 with hand colored images portraying outdoor panoramic, historical, pastoral, and landmark scenes and events, with which the middle class and the wealthy sought to decorate their houses. James Ives (1824-1895) was his accountant) and would join him later in 1857 to help run the business.
The hand painted lithograph is embellished with script text in the bottom margin of the folio "Entered according to art of congress in the year 1855 by N. Currier in the clerk's office of the southern district of N.Y."

View of South Pond, New York, 1879 by Ida H. Stebbins (American, b. 1851)
Located in New York, NY
Painted by Hudson River School artist Ida H. Stebbins (b. 1851), "View of South Pond, New York," 1879 is oil on canvas, measures 23 x 33 1/2 inches, and is signed and dated 1879 at the lower left. The work is framed in an elegant Barbizon style frame and ready to hang.
Ida H. Stebbins was born in January 1851 in Chelsea, Massachusetts to Mary and Isaac Stebbins, a teacher. Though scant records remain of Stebbins’ artistic training or career, various personal details of her life have been gleaned from contemporary newspapers and federal documents. By the time View of South Pond, New York was painted in 1879, she was living in Boston. Like many artists of her generation, Stebbins likely traveled throughout the Northeast region, gaining inspiration for her paintings from the landscape of New England and New York. Stebbins was likely visiting
upstate New York when she painted this sweeping view of South Pond and the surrounding mountains near Long Lake in the Adirondacks just south of Deerland. Here, Stebbins captures the stunning vermillion, burnt orange and brown tones of the autumn landscape with the style and precise rendering often seen in paintings produced by the Hudson River School.
Shortly after the completion of View of South Pond, New York, Stebbins married Frank H. Slack, a clerk, in her hometown of Chelsea on December 14, 1881 at the age of thirty. The couple moved to Hotel Comfort in Boston, where their son, Roland Stewart Slack was born on May 22, 1883. It seems likely that her husband died in the mid-1880s since on December 3, 1889, records indicate that Ida and Roland changed their last name back to her maiden name of Stebbins.
Roland Stewart Stebbins (1883-1974) inherited his mother’s interest in art, studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Columbia University in New York, and the Art Students League of New York. He also studied at the Académie de la Grand Chaumière and the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. Today, he is remembered for his marine and genre paintings and for his legacy as a respected professor of art education at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
On January 1, 1890, Ida married her second husband, Timothy Jarvis, in Somerville, Massachusetts. Their daughter, Ida Hazel Jarvis, was born soon after in 1893. However, the child suffered paralysis from a brain tumor...
