Inscribed, lower center: "SILAS WRIGHT. / Entered according to Act of congress, in the year 1844, by E.B. & E.C. Kellogg, in the Clerk's Office of the District of Connecticut." Light foxing, else Very Good. 12-1/4" x 16-1/4" Lithographed by the Kelloggs of Hartford. The Philadelphia Print Shop's web site explains, "From about 1830 through the rest of the century, the Kellogg brothers, in various partnerships among themselves and with others, published popular lithographs in Hartford, Connecticut. These firms issued the second largest number of decorative prints intended for the American public, surpassed only by their New York rivals, Currier & Ives, producing thousands of lithographs, most hand-colored, which ended up in the homes and work places of Americans. The Kelloggs' prints were typical of the popular print style: colorful, affordable and with images covering much the same range of topics as those of their New York counterpart.".
