Currier & Ives: Life in the Woods: "Returning to Camp.". This horizontal print (wider than it is high) is from a rare 1952 edition of Currier & Ives illustrations and measures 12" x 15½". Below the print, it reads "Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1860 by Currier & Ives in the Clerk's Office of the district Court of the Southern District of N.Y."
During the 19th Century, hunting and fishing changed from a necessity to a sport. Louis Maurer, who came to the United States from Germany, painted this hunting scene.
