"In 1834, when Nathaniel Currier formed his first partnership, Andrew Jackson was President, the South was a slaveholding oligarchy, Texas still belonged to Mexico, the Great West was a wilderness, adn the industrial revolution had yet to penetrate what was an agricultural nation. In 1888, when Currier died, he left a country spanned from coast to coast by the railroads that had been only a curious experiment in 1834. N. Currier and later Currier & Ives were to provide generously in the form of inexpensive, finely executed lithographic prints that made their way into nearly every home and became in an amazingly short time an American institution.
