Currier & Ives Prints Strawberries 1870 and Ripe Cherries 1863 Experts Needed

I felt blessed when I found these 2 Prints Yesterday. It was pouring rain but I spend the day traveling and searching.

I have very little knowledge of Currier & Ives, I search the Library of Congress and found the Ripe Cherries' print and found no others anywhere.

The Strawberries' Print I was only able to find reproductions.
Could someone give me the larger view of these prints history as they both seem very very rare?

I have not had the time to carefully remove them from their frame, They have cardboard backings and severe acid damage.

Is it possible that they are reproduction? Crossing my Ts

Disregard the expert reference all help is appreciated.

16 X 26 in the frame

 

Get a magnifying glass. If you see dots, you have repros. Originals you will see where the color was applied, no dots will be seen.

Thanks, CC49 there are matrix dots and the address is correct for the year they were printed, according to the link you sent. Thanks

 

Fruits are not as desirable as other categories such as the Civil War. Hope there are some serious Vegans collectors out there. Thanks, INH

 

I had no idea about this distinction between original and repros. Fascinating! I have a few in the house I can check out.

 

Out of the frame shows a lot of condition issues related to age. Also, yellowing and darkening caused by the acid leaching into the print from the cardboard backing. Some pencil marking and a company logo.

The size is 10" X 14"
