peytona and fashion

That's the title of the Currier & Ives print that's framed and hangs over the head of Almanzo Wilder's bed at Rocky Ridge Farm. Four other framed C&I prints are displayed on the wall beside his bed: The Road: Winter, Trotting Cracks at the Forge, A Midnight Race on the Mississippi, and The Lightning Express Train.



The Wilder pictures are calendar pages, probably from a freebie sent to them by the Traveler's Insurance Agency in the 1930s. If you're lucky, you can still find these old calendars for under $100.
