NotesMaker Note: This print does not appear to be the work of the Kellogg firm. Currier & Ives issued a print with this title (Gale 0924), but this print does not appear to correspond to it. It may be another version of the subject by Currier & Ives, Nathaniel Currier, or some other firm. (Finlay 3/13/2006)On View
