    Currier and Ives, It can determine if it is a lithography or an original print, Three brothers, picture itself measures 9 inches by 6 1/2 inches, It has address of 152 Nassau St N.Y in one corner and Lith.and Pub by Currier and Ives, Underneath the picture in very small letters Entered according to Act of Congress 1852 by N Currier in the clerk,s office of the district court of New York, One observation I have made that paper looks as if it has a linen base, When held up to light it looks almost like threads running through paper. Thank you for any comments

    Yours is a later reproduction, the original is titled quite differently.

    Seems too small. Several listings mention that they were originally the cover art of a PanAm menu. And all of those seem to have the same "gold" surround, whereas other larger ones don't. Not sure what that means for yours.

    Makes sense as the PanAM's Jumbo jet fleet (707's) were also known as "clippers"
