General Notes

Curatorial Remarks

Note

Of the Currier & Ives images of SS in the HHV collection, this is a secondary version. It is the smaller version of the print and the condition is not as good, with an overall yellow tone to the coloration (see condition notes) [Jessa J. Krick, 3/22/2017]. Currier and Ives were at this address from 1838-1872.
