EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1889 showcases the thrilling world of horse racing. Titled "HORSE RACING, c1889. Fast Trotters on a Fast Track" it captures the essence of speed and excitement that defined this popular sport during that era. In the image, we see a race in progress on a vibrant race course. The fast trotters, driven by skilled American drivers, are seen dashing past a crowded viewing pavilion filled with enthusiastic spectators. The energy is palpable as these magnificent harness horses showcase their strength and agility. The engraving was skillfully created by Louis Maurer for Currier & Ives, renowned for their exceptional lithographs capturing various aspects of American life at the time. Maurer's attention to detail brings every element to life – from the determination etched onto each driver's face to the dynamic movement of both man and beast. This late 19th-century artwork not only immortalizes an exhilarating moment in horse racing history but also provides us with a glimpse into society's fascination with this beloved spectator sport. It serves as a reminder of how sports have always had the power to unite people across generations and create lasting memories.
