Marshall R. Berkoff (1937-2017) and Bebe R. Berkoff (1940-2023)
Marshall and his wife, Bebe, had three sons, Mark, Jonathan, and Adam, along with many grandchildren they loved to dote over. Marshall was a highly respected lawyer who assisted many nonprofit organizations with his expertise as a board member, including the War Memorial Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (part of the Milwaukee Art Museum complex), Charles Allis & Villa Terrace Art Museum, St. Michaels Hospital (for a time as Chairman of the Board) and The American Historical Print Collectors Society. Marshall was a long-time member of the American Historical Print Collectors Society, serving as the sixth president between 1987 and 1990.
He was very passionate about collecting and selling American historical prints, especially Currier & Ives lithographs. He began buying and selling lithographs while he was in college, finding he could purchase two, sell one for a profit, and then keep the other for himself. Summer vacations usually included family car trips through New England, stopping at every antique shop, looking for Curriers, and visiting fellow collectors and dealers.
During his tenure as president, Marshall organized The New Best 50, covering 100 Currier & Ives lithographs, 50 large folio, and 50 small folio. The basis of the project was to revisit the 1932 Best Fifty Currier & Ives Lithographs, Large folio size, and the 1933 Best Fifty Currier & Ives Lithographs, Small folio size, using the full membership of the American Historical Print Collectors Society to vote. Once all the votes were tallied, an exhibition was held at the Milwaukee Art Museum where 99 of 100 Currier & Ives lithographs selected were exhibited, largely through Marshall’s considerable efforts to curate and oversee the exhibition. In 1991, a book entitled The New Best 50 was published by the American Historical Print Collectors Society. Marshall served as Editor of that publication, and his work on the exhibition and the book were years in the making. This was a labor of love for Marshall, and it was a great source of pride that he could be a small part of the Currier & Ives legacy. It was a thrill for Marshall and Bebe to be able to see the fulfillment of everyone’s efforts in bringing the exhibition and book to life and being able to enjoy the exhibition in person with so many close friends and colleagues in the field.
The prints included in this catalog were collected by Marshall and Bebe over the years. His first prints were a gift from Bebe, and they had assembled their collection together over a lifetime. The collection was extensive and included many subjects, both large and small folio. Some were part of the exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Museum, many were proudly displayed and enjoyed at their home, and others were available to other collectors for purchase.
49 West 24th Street, 2nd Floor New York, N.Y. 10010
On a personal note, Marshall and Bebe were great friends and supporters in the world of American historical prints. I always looked forward to seeing them at the annual meetings of the American Historical Print Collectors Society.
The Old Print Shop Inc., is proud to assist in the marketing of this remarkable collection.

Civil War-era political conflicts intensified in the North as the presidential election of 1864 approached. The Democrats nominated Lincoln’s former general, George McClellan, for president, while some Radical Republicans created a new political party named the Radical Democracy. They nominated General John Fremont for president and General John Cochrane as Vice President. The Radical Democracy party demanded a constitutional amendment ending slavery, protection of constitutional rights, and an aggressive continuation of the war. Abraham Lincoln won the Republican platform and was re-elected for a second term.
