Currier and Ives Autumn Fruits

I've chosen a Currier and Ives print entitled Autumn Fruits which has been a favorite for decades.
Currier and Ives called themselves "Publishers of Cheap and Popular Pictures" which
they produced for the masses.
I can remember almost every house having at least one of their prints.

Colonial Traveler

I've been giving a lot of thought lately to our forefathers who molded our country to
provide all United States citizens with Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Very noble ideas that have always worked; maybe not perfectly but they worked.
I had this public domain painting Goodby by George Kilburn Goodwin (1839-1924)
which seemed perfect for my thoughts.
This is a large desktop; if you need a standard size you can find that Here
Enjoy!
