VINTAGE 1857 LITTLE FIREMAN BOY FIREFIGHTER POSTER
Product Description
The2FunAdGuyz offer a new, high-quality, reproduction print of a spectacular Early American Currier & Ives Firefighter print showing a little boy dressed as a fireman. This charming print will bring a smile to the face of everyone who has dreamed of being a firefighter—and that includes most everybody. Artist Louis Maurer (generally considered the best of the Currier and Ives stable of artists) created a sepia toned image that is rich in detail. The Little Fireman stands erect, with his right hand on a fire hydrant. His right hand holds a fire trumpet used in this era by foremen to shout orders during a fire. His long curly hair, bow tie, collared shirt and double-breasted vest are representative of the era. Behind the little guy is a miniature hand drawn fir wagon. The medallion on his classic fire helmet reads “Young America, Chief Engineer”.
CAPTION: The Little Fireman, Currier & Ives, 1857.
ORIGINAL DATE OF CREATION: The stone lithograph on which this print is based was originally done in 1857.
ARTIST: Louis Maurer (1832—1932) is credited with the artwork for the original stone lithograph on which this print is based. His signature appears at the bottom.
CURRIER & IVES: While most Americans have heard of Currier & Ives, most do not know that both of them were members of their local fire department. Nat Currier and Jim Ives printed the original lithograph on which this new print is based. From their business on Spruce Street in Brooklyn, New York, Currier and Ives printed over 1 million prints covering over 7500 different titles from 1834 to 1907. Their work chronicles an era in America before the printing press could produce colored prints and stone lithography were the only method for doing color prints in quantity. Though their lithographs are in high demand today, they once described their business as Publishers of Cheap and Popular Pictures.
HOME DECOR USES: Because of its antique, Early American style, many of our customers find this poster useful for a home den, recreation or family room. Of course, it would look grand on the walls of any firehouse, anywhere in the world.
GIFT IDEAS: Every firefighter would love to receive this remarkable print that clearly shows the roots of the heroism of modern firefighters.
PAPER QUALITY: This new print is on a highest quality, acid-free, 100-pound glossy premium text paper that allows for maximum color brilliance and fidelity for older images.
