We distribute our screen savers through direct sales, online auctions, and downloadable shareware. This last method permits users to "try out" the item before purchase. The user loads a trial version (i.e., time-limited version with fewer images) on their computer and evaluates the program. A "nag screen" reminds the user that the product is unregistered. If the user decides to purchase the item, then payment is made and a registration code is used to eliminate the "nag screen" and to "unlock" additional images on the screen saver. Our unregistered products expire after a predetermined number of days -- the user is usually permitted a 7-day evaluation period before purchase. Shareware permits the open distribution of software for evaluation and keeps the product cost to a minimum. You can download this screen saver from the links given above. If you have questions or need help downloading, e-mail Currier&Ives@BeauxArtsUSA.com.
 
 

Currier & Ives' Americana v1.0 Click here to view the ReadMe file included with the Screen Saver.

Currier and Ives are probably America's best known 19th Century print makers. They depicted life in everyday America from the mid to late 19th Century, and today their work provides a visual record of that era. This screen saver contains 37 images (15 available without registration) from vintage Currier & Ives lithographs, including some of their most famous prints. Installation is easy and several options are configurable with the versatile Stardust screen-saver engine. Image captions and transitional effects can be switched "off," and the text from the original lithographs is available in a ReadMe file. Some of the images can be downloaded for use as Windows 95/98 backgrounds. Registered users may also obtain diskette and CD-ROM versions for an additional shipping and handling fee (see below). A single registration is valid for all versions including version upgrades of a single volume (Additional volumes may be sold separately.).
