Painting Description
"An Increase Of Family" is a lithograph created by the renowned American printmaking firm Currier & Ives. Established in 1834 by Nathaniel Currier and later joined by James Merritt Ives in 1857, Currier & Ives became famous for their affordable and widely distributed prints that depicted various aspects of 19th-century American life. Their works ranged from landscapes and historical events to domestic scenes and portraits, capturing the essence of the era and appealing to a broad audience.
"An Increase Of Family" is one of the many domestic-themed prints produced by Currier & Ives, reflecting the firm's ability to tap into the sentimental and familial aspects of American culture. The lithograph typically portrays a serene and idealized family scene, often featuring parents with their children in a cozy, well-appointed home. These images were designed to evoke a sense of warmth, stability, and the joys of family life, resonating with the values and aspirations of the middle-class American public.
Currier & Ives prints, including "An Increase Of Family," were created using a process that involved drawing the image on a lithographic stone, which was then inked and pressed onto paper. This method allowed for the mass production of prints, making art accessible to a wider audience. The firm's prints were known for their bright colors and fine details, achieved through hand-coloring by skilled artisans.
The popularity of Currier & Ives prints during the 19th century can be attributed to their ability to capture the spirit of the times and their appeal to a sense of nostalgia and idealism. Today, these prints are highly valued by collectors and historians for their artistic merit and as cultural artifacts that provide insight into the social and domestic life of 19th-century America. "An Increase Of Family" remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Currier & Ives and their contribution to American art and culture.
