Historical Significance: For sale is a rare, mid-19th-century hand-colored lithograph of James Buchanan, the 15th President of the United States. This piece was published by Nathaniel Currier at 152 Nassau St., New York, shortly before the firm became the world-renowned "Currier & Ives" in 1857.
Physical Details:
The portrait captures Buchanan in a classic statesman pose. It is housed in a beautiful, period-correct mahogany veneer Ogee frame, which was a staple of American interior design during the mid-1800s.
Condition Report:
• Print: Shows characteristic "toning" (natural browning) consistent with an authentic 170-year-old paper antique. The hand-applied watercolors remain visible.
Please review photos carefully for condition of lithograph and frame.
