Sunnyside 1860

"Sunnyside," a chromolithograph print created by Currier and Ives in 1860, depicts the home of the late Washington Irving, author of "Rip Van Winkle" and "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." The print showcases Sunnyside, Irving's home in Tarrytown, New York, nestled amidst a lush landscape, with a winding path leading to the grand structure. The print's vibrant colors, intricate details, and romanticized portrayal of Irving's home made it a popular choice for home décor in the 19th century. "Sunnyside" is a beautiful example of Currier and Ives' ability to capture the charm and elegance of American homes and landscapes during the Victorian era.
