This exhibition of the prints of Nathan Currier and James Merritt Ives came from the Library of Congress and was toured through New Zealand by the United States Information Service. Fifty-four prints depicted early American scenes. The catalogue noted that "...the fact that some of them are hideous is not to be denied.There is a monotony about their colour scheme - glaring green for grass, bull-maddening red for fire, placid blue for water - that sometimes offends the eye, for all its quaintness."
