About the Item
This is a Buffalo Bill item that would have appeal for collectors of both western and Buffalo Bill meomorabelia. It is a tintype, circa 1890s (the Buffalo Bill shows started in 1883). It depicts two young men, dressed in their finest clothes, sitting in a horse drawn buggy perceptually on their way to a Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. There is a poster on the wall of the barn (very rare and I have never seen on a tintype).
The close up image says:
"Buffalo Bill
Wild West
Lewiston
Saturday
June
1st
Excursion
Rates
Rough Riders"
Tintype measures 3 1/2" x 2 3/8". It is in good original condition; some pitting and scratching to the surface.
Included is a beautiful 7 1/2" x 9 1/2" sepia tone photograph that I had "photo lab made" from the tintype. (see image). Professionally framed in attractive solid walnut (11" x 14" with frame).
The first three images are the actual tintype; the next three images are the photograph from the tintype in frame.
Note: Glare in the lower left is a reflection and not on the tintype.
Note: I am a second generation antiques dealer and have been in business for 50 years; I am also a member of several prestigious antique associations. Thus, I am well qualified to inspect and evaluate the products I offer for sale and I guarantee this to be authentic and as I have described.

Nathan Currier Lithograph "October Afternoon" American Country Life Series C1855
By Currier & Ives
Located in Incline Village, NV
"October Afternoon" Maintains the appropriate markings along with "New York, Published by N. Currier 152 Nassau Street.
(The firm was located here in lower Manhattan from 1837-1872)
The lithograph illustrates two men and their dog with young son (hunting rifle over shoulder) in tow, returning from the rabbit hunt with their catch being presented to the lady of the house with baby in arms. The gated mansion is in the background while geese float upon the fertile pond in the background.
In addition to the Amon Carter Museum in Dallas, an example of "Pleasures of Winter" is in:
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (Bequest of Adele S. Colgate, 1962)
Museum of Fine Arts Boston (Donated by Lee M. Friedman)
The Library of Congress
The Yale University Art Gallery (Gift of Mabel Brady Garvan Collection)
Dimensions: actual= 16 1/2" h x 23 13/16" w
matte= 19 1/2" h x 25 1/4" w
folio= 21 1/4" h x 27 3/4" w
with frame= 26 1/4" h x 32 1/4" w
frame= 1 1/4" burl bird's eye maple
It is in very good all original condition; and housed and professionally mounted in a fine quality and attractive bird's eye maple wooden frame with preservation backing and frontal protective glass (important when dealing with 170 year old lithographs); it is the rare and desirable Currier large folio sheet example in fine original color. There is some slight foxing to the cream border and minor fading (see images),
The larger folios are more rare because they appealed to the wealthier sector of the population and were more expensive, thus fewer were made, albeit, knowing their more discerning customer base, there was more attention given to detail; hand coloring, and quality for example. This example has been framed and housed in museum quality conservation backing for over 80 years. I have had it professionally taken apart and I inspected the folio visually, and examined it with a black light and loop; as a result, I guarantee and can attest to the accuracy of my description of the lithograph. I then had the folio professionally remounted in it's original frame with an upgraded preservation backing (see images of original folios out of frame and for confirmation of inspection). This lithograph has no tears, no touch up paint, and no glued or taped repairs.
This is one of the four iconic and highly desirable set of lithographs made by Nathaniel Currier (1813-1888) dated 1855 from the American Country Life series. They are named;
Spring "May Morning";
Summer "Summer Evening";
Fall ""October Afternoon"; and
Winter "Pleasures of Winter".
The lithograph was produced from the painting of well known artist Frances (Fanny) Flora (Bond Palmer (1812-1876). She painted typical American scenes of daily American life that were used by Currier for years to come. She was an accomplished artist by the time she migrated to the United States from England, and Currier commissioned her to do the country scenes for this series. Each of the original images are toned lithographs with applied hand painted watercolor.
The lithograph reflects an affluent life style, showcasing grandiose homes and glamorizing the rural way of living as urban areas became more densely populated with the tidal wave and arrival of immigrants. Nathaniel Currier began his lithograph business in 1835 with hand colored images portraying outdoor panoramic, historical, pastoral, and landmark scenes and events, with which the middle class and the wealthy sought to decorate their houses. James Ives (1824-1895) was his accountant) and would join him later in 1857 to help run the business.
The hand painted lithograph is embellished with script text in the bottom margin of the folio "Entered according to art of congress in the year 1855 by N. Currier in the clerk's office of the southern district of N.Y."
