Let it snow, let it snow… let it snow!
Happy New Year from the VictorianCardHub!
This “We Parted on the Hillside” comic image is an authentic circa 1880 Currier & Ives image as found on a trade card from the legendary Steve Rotman Collection, which I am currently selling on ebay.
While most folks are familiar with Currier & Ives as a printer of full-sized “Winter Wonderland” lithographs, it is interesting that C&I only printed a few different 5 x 3 inch Victorian Trade Cards with winter scenes. The above trade card, and a 2nd C&I card captioned “Trotters on the Snow,” are seldom available for purchase via eBay or any other venues.
A 3rd Currier and Ives winter scene card is even more RARE: “Winter Twilight” is virtually NEVER available, with only a few known examples ever making it to the Victorian Trade Card or Currier & Ives Lithographed Prints markets.
In future posts, I’ll share images of the C&I “Trotters” advertising card, as well as the rare “Winter Twilight” view trade card.
Currently, I am unaware of any place on the internet with a color image of that rare 3rd card, “Winter Twilight,” from the rare C&I group of cards identified by Ron Schieber as the
“View Titles” series.

NOTE: Some Currier & Ives Trade Card images are politically incorrect in their depictions of African-American Blacks. Those cards violate the ebay “Offensive Materials” policy, and so we will not be listing them on ebay.
