Late March, 1998, I was getting brakes done on my car and
my mechanic had a wonderful Currier & Ives calendar on his desk.
These were not the normal prints one usually sees on coffee
cups, cookie tins, and Christmas cards and I admired it all the
while he was finishing my car. In the end, I suppose he had no
choice. I brought it home. I would like to share these
wonderful historical prints with you. Please take the time and
enjoy them as I do.

To round out a "baker's dozen" I have included a scan of a
trivet I bought at a thrift store for 75¢ and use for my
morning coffee cup. It's always nice to wake up to the history
of the Mighty Mississippi River and Currier & Ives.

I have found a wonderful source for Currier and Ives items. E-Bay, is an on-line auction with nearly two million items available to bid on including hundreds of various Currier and Ives items from original prints, reprints, plates, tins, cups, dinnerware, nearly anything you can think of that has featured Currier and Ives prints. I have taken the liberty of downloading the highest quality scans that sellers have provided and placed them on a special page listed only on here. To see more Currier and Ives prints, click here.
