A rural New York view showing a three-storey white building with a peaked roof containing an attic window, set on top of a hill, surrounded by trees.At the base of the hill is a fenced field, and a house with a columned porch, a dirt road in the foreground. When Frances "Fanny" Flora Bond Palmer moved to New York from England in 1844, she already was an accomplished artist and printmaker. Palmer and her husband Seymour initially operated a small printshop in lower Manhattan and produced this print. By the time their business closed and they moved to Brooklyn in 1849, Nathaniel Currier was commissioning drawings from Fanny. After Currier & Ives was established in 1857, Palmer became one of their staff artists and one of the leading women lithographers of the 19th century.
