Item description from seller

Lithograph image area: 54.5 x 39cm. (21.5 x 15.25 inches); overall sheet size of 62 x 44.1 cm (23.9 x18.75 inches).; some browning and spotting. Contemporary hand coloring; professionally matted. . . .References: Currier & Ives : A Catalogue Raisonné / compiled by Gale Research. Detroit, MI : Gale Research, c. 1983, no. 5114 ; Conningham 1970, no. 4717 .Provenance:The Old Print Shop, NYC. .Fanny Palmer (1812-1876) was the first woman in the United States to work as a professional artist, and to make a living with her art. She produced more Currier and Ives' prints than any other artist, and she was the only female in a business that was dominated by men. Painting was not considered a suitable occupation for a woman, nor was lithography. Hers was a story common to Victorian wives who were expected to keep house and be supported by their husbands. She however pursued a career in England in printmaking and eventually in America, virtually supporting her family as her husband sank deeper into alcoholism and then supporting it in fact when he fell to his death on a hotel stairway in 1857.Partridge hunting has always been an integral part of American life, whether for sport or necessity. Specially bred field dogs have been used for centuries to flush the partridge or "grouse" out of long grasses, brush and forest.
