May Queen | Victorian Currier PrintMy favorite May Queen related item offered this week is this early print by Currier, before he joined Currier & Ives. Not only is it gorgeous but Ive never seen the design before and found it by chance. One tends to see the same few Currier & Ives print with ordinary subject matter again and again, so Im always thrilled to find a rarity. Presented in a gilded wood frame. Refer to photos for size and condition.
