Home to Thanksgiving, by George Henry Durrie and Currier & Ives shows a traveler arriving by horse-drawn sleigh to be greeted by his family on the porch of a snow-covered farmhouse, while a man drives an ox-drawn sledge of logs across the yard. The scene was painted by the Connecticut artist George Henry Durrie (American, 1820-1863) and issued as a hand-colored lithograph by Currier & Ives, the New York print publisher that brought several of Durrie's winter farm scenes to a wide public.
