Nathaniel Currier Lithograph Summer
s Evening American Country Life Series C1855
By Currier
Ives
Located in Incline Village, NV
"Summer's Evening" folio has the appropriate Currier and Ives' 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 depicts a young well dressed and well to do family overlooking their property as workers tend to the farmland and harvest hay. Note the haystacks and a horse drawn hay wagon. The large and well built farm house stands proudly over the scene with the village in the background.
In addition to the Amon Carter Museum in Dallas, an example of "Summer's Evening" is in The Springfield Museum (Massachusetts) Gift of Lenore and Sydney Alpert).
Dimensions: actual= 16 1/2" h x 23 13/16" w
matte= 19 1/2" h x 25 1/4" w
folio= 19 7/8" h x 26" 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 toning and foxing (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."

Garo Zareh Antreasian “Painters Tray” Geometric Abstraction c1977
By Garo Z Antresian
Located in Oakland, CA
This is such an incredible lithograph by master printmaker, Garo Zareh Antreasian c1977. We aren’t sure if the artwork is better than the beautiful shadow box frame or vise versa. Our expert framer floated this piece perfectly in a custom made shadow box frame. The wood used which is mainly black, but has thin streaks of silvery grey (almost metallic feel) that picks up in the grey gradient lines throughout the artwork. *Note this is not an edition, which makes this more valuable, and collectable. In our opinion, after looking at his body of work, we think this is probably the best piece he did. The execution on this is just incredible. Signed in pencil, embossed with the artist’s cipher, and dated.
The print itself is in perfect condition with no flaws, anything you see in the photos is a reflection from the lights when we photographed it. This was just framed so it’s flawless.
Garo Zareh Antreasian (1922-2018) was born in Indianapolis, printmaker Garo Zareh Antreasian helped to promote the art of lithography among American artists during the 1960s and 1970s. He studied printmaking with Will Barnet in New York. During the 1950s, while teaching at the John Herron Institute in Indianapolis, he began to produce color lithographs.
Throughout his career, Antreasian has been a very active member of the Tamarind Lithography Workshop. The workshop was established in 1960 to train lithographers...

Nathaniel Currier Lithograph "May Morning" American Country Life Series C. 1855
By Currier
Ives
Located in Incline Village, NV
This lithograph portrays a pleasant scene of a man in a top hat atop a handsome dark horse, with a boy riding a white horse (presumably father and son) in front of a country estate, while women gather as they water flowers, and children play with a lamb in the foreground. A man plows a field; while a horse is being groomed near the stable in the background. Afar and to the right is the sea dotted with ships here and there. The folio is mounted on cardboard and set in the matte.
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.
