Home to Thanksgiving, c. 1867 by Currier & Ives

Home to Thanksgiving, by Currier & Ives shows a family reuniting at a snow-covered New England farmhouse, greeted on the porch as a horse and an ox-drawn sledge wait in the yard, a scene originally painted by Connecticut artist George Henry Durrie that became one of Currier & Ives' most beloved images; the firm was the famed 19th-century American lithography publisher whose hand-colored prints defined the visual memory of the American holiday season.

Artist: Currier & Ives, after George Henry Durrie (American, 1820-1863). Date: 1867.
