Congress has a number of out
standing original Currier g.
Ives prints permanently dis
played. The division has the
worlds largest collection of
autographs issued by the
famous f1rm-more than 4,5OO
of them. A recent exhibi-
tion included prints of such
historic events as the Boston
Tea Party, Patrick Henry's
Liberty or Death" speech,
the Signing of the Declaration
of independence and others.
These prints are the best
mirror of early America that
we have" says Milton Kap-
Ian, reference librarian of the
division. "As a piece of
Americana, take the series,
Progress of Intemperance.'
Strictly anti-saloon propa-
ganda, it begins with a man
who takes a few snifters too
many with friends. He be-
comes a heavy drinker, finally
deserts his wife and children.
With no more money, he be-
comes a robber to get money
for drink and ends up shoot
ing himself"

Some of the Library'S Cur
rier & Ives prints are very
valuable, ranging up to about
$4,000 for The Life of
Hunter" which shows a man
aiming his rifle (at close
range at a huge bear.
"Currier g. Ives prints once
played an important part in
the Nations political life,"
says Mr.. Kaplan. USED in
almost every election as cam
paign posters, they were
tackled up on the sides OF
barns, on lamppostS and
other places"
Many notable political issues
are mirrored in the Library'S
collection. One Currier &
Ives print, with tart comment
on the long fight for women'S
rights, is typical. It shows
Susan Sharptongue, the cele-
brated man tanner" address
ing a group of aggressive
looking women. Quite obvi-
ously, the gentlemen who
pictured America in stone"
were out of sympathy with
any radical notions such as
equal rights for women.
