Artist Prints

Starting in the late 1820s, Thomas Cole and other prominent artists travelled to the White Mountains. The paintings they created were often reproduced by engravers, and therefore

reached a wide audience. Often, their works were reproduced by publishers without giving

credit to the artists. The works of Cole, at the bottom of this page, illustrate some of the unauthorized reproductions. As the 19th century progressed, many publishers commissioned

well-known artists to create works for books and magazines. Lithographs by Currier and Ives,

sometimes without credit, reproduced paintings and they were widely distributed.

Chromolithographs, by firms including Louis Prang, were also widely distributed. Many works

were published without identifying artists.

The prints we've included are intended to show examples of the works of some well-known

artists along with unidentified works. The total number of 19th century prints is undoubtedly

well into the thousands. Many of the works here could just as well have been included in the

Books and Magazine section of this website. Many of the works in the Book and magazine

section could have been included here-visit both sections.
