Life in the Country - Evening 

Currier and Ives were a prolific printmaking company known for their chromolithographs which depicted idealized scenes of American life, often romanticizing rural settings and landscapes. "Life in the Country - Evening" is an example of this, showing a lavish country estate with a large house, fountain, and manicured grounds, suggesting wealth and leisure. It is a depiction of an idealized rural life in the American 19th century that would have appealed to the general public.
