Louis Maurer (February 21, 1832 – July 19, 1932) was a German-born American lithographer, and he holds a unique place in American art history. As the last surviving artist known to have been employed by Currier and Ives, Maurer left an indelible mark on the world of printmaking. His journey began in Germany, where he studied anatomy, mechanical drawing, and lithography before immigrating to the United States in 1851. Maurer joined the renowned firm of T.W. Strong in 1852, and later that same year, he became part of the iconic Currier and Ives team, where he worked until 1860. His notable series, “The Life of a Fireman” (1854), remains a beloved collection of lithographs produced for Currier and Ives. These prints, capturing the heroism and drama of firefighting, even inspired sculptor John A. Wilson’s Firemen’s Memorial. During the American Civil War, Maurer took on a different role as a shooting instructor in Palisades Park. In 1893 he painted “Dash for the Pole” for Currier & Ives. After his lithography career, he embarked on a new artistic path, studying under William Merritt Chase at the Gotham Art Academy and the National Academy. Maurer’s legacy endures, and his archives reside at the American Antiquarian Society.
