Currier and Ives was a New York City-based printmaking business operating from 1835 to 1907. Founded by Nathaniel Currier, the company designed and sold inexpensive hand-painted lithographic works based on news events, views of popular culture and Americana. Advertising itself as "the Grand Central Depot for Cheap and Popular Prints",[1] the corporate name was changed in 1857 to "Currier and Ives" with the addition of James Merritt Ives.
A perennial bestselling series was the Darktown Comics lithographs.
