* Charles Ives (1874-1954) was an American composer. He is known for his innovative and often dissonant music that incorporated elements of American folk and popular music.
* Currier & Ives was a printmaking firm founded in 1835 by Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives. They were famous for their lithographic prints depicting scenes of American life, especially landscapes, historical events, and popular culture.
While they both shared the last name "Ives," this is purely coincidental. Charles Ives's family was not connected to the printmaking firm.
