Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center Virtual Talks to Explore the Role of Currier & Ives in 19th Century American Mass Media with Collector Joel Third Written by KTMHC
Two of longtime Ridgefield resident Joel Third’s passions have been collecting Currier & Ives prints and volunteering at Keeler Tavern Museum & History Center. In January and February, he’ll bring those passions together for two virtual talks.
In January, Third will present 19th Century American Mass Media, an exploration of the role Currier & Ives had as lithograph publishers in the late 1800s. In February, Third’s program will be View of Women in the 19th Century. In this program, Third will explore the role of women in society, their fight for suffrage, and their role in the temperance movement as seen through the work of Currier & Ives. KTM&HC is hosting both programs on Zoom.
