EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph "Money Lending, 1870. I Gave Credit / I Sell for Cash" by Currier & Ives is a captivating piece of art that takes us back to the bustling streets of the late 19th century. This print, created in 1870, showcases the intricate details and skilled craftsmanship that were characteristic of Currier & Ives' work. In this scene, we are transported to a busy marketplace where money lending is taking place. The artist beautifully captures the essence of commerce with two distinct figures at its center. On one side stands a confident moneylender who proudly proclaims his willingness to extend credit to those in need. On the other side stands an equally determined merchant who insists on selling his goods strictly for cash. This lithograph not only serves as a visual representation of financial transactions during that era but also offers insight into societal attitudes towards money and credit. It highlights the delicate balance between trust and caution when it comes to lending and purchasing goods on credit. Currier & Ives' attention to detail is evident throughout the artwork - from the intricately designed storefronts in the background to the expressions on each character's face. The use of vibrant colors adds depth and life to this snapshot from history. Overall, "Money Lending, 1870" provides us with a fascinating glimpse into an important aspect of daily life during this period while showcasing Currier & Ives' mastery in capturing moments frozen in time through their iconic lithographs.
