notes: label: Description
content: Color print of the interior of a barn with men, women and a child engaged in husking corn. The central figure is a man standing with a basket filled with husked corn on his shoulder. At the left, a young girl watches a man braid together a pile of husked corn. A rifle leans up against the barn door. This is a copy of an 1860 oil on canvas genre painting titled Corn Husking of 1860 by Eastman Johnson. The original painting had the inscription "Lincoln/Hamlon [sic} on the barn door but this print only appears to have some indecipherable scratching. Other Currier and Ives copies have the inscription "The Union Forever."
