ppearing like a black and white lithograph that is hand colored, this iconic scene references Currier and Ives, the successful 19th century printmaking company. Calling itself "the Grand Central Depot for Cheap and Popular Prints," the firm pioneered assembly line production by utilizing division of artistic labor. Each colorist was responsible for adding a single color to the print. As one color was finished, the print was passed down the line to the next worker who added another color. Capitalistic art put through a refining process to produce an end product appropriate for onward consumption.
“All business proceeds on beliefs, or judgments of probabilities, and not on certainties.” - Charles W. Eliot
