DE BOSS ROOSTER
Lithograph by Currier & Ives
View Pictures

This is a COLOR lithograph by Currier & Ives copyrighted it 1882. The artist is American artist Thomas Worth of Staten Island, NY (1834-1917).  We matched his signature in Dictionary & Signatures & Monograms of American Artists.  That book was written by Peter Falk in 1988.

The bottom left of the lithograph has "PUBLISHED BY CURRIER & IVES".   The center has "COPYRIGHT 1882, BY CURRIER AND IVES, N.Y."   The right side has their address "115 NASSAU ST., NEW YORK"

Measurements:   17" wide X 11 1/2" high

On the back of the original wooden frame, it has a sticker that says Pittsburg.19.PA.

The Encyclopedia of Black Collectables says Currier and Ives was a well-known 19th century printmaker. They painted quite a few black subjects. Nathaniel Currier perfected hand-coloring black and white stone litographs and started his print business in 1852. They published many political and humerous prints that they "believed to be true".
