EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ice-Boat Race on the Hudson" takes us back to a bygone era in American history. Created around 1855 by Currier & Ives, this colour lithograph captures the excitement and thrill of a frozen river race. Set against the backdrop of a snow-covered landscape, two sailboats glide effortlessly across the icy surface of the Hudson River. The competitors maneuver their boats with precision and skill, vying for victory in this exhilarating contest. In the distance, a steam train can be seen chugging along on a nearby railway track, adding an element of modernity to this otherwise timeless scene. The image showcases not only the love for competition but also highlights America's unique ability to embrace winter sports and turn them into thrilling spectacles. As spectators gather along the riverbank to witness these daring racers battle it out on ice, one cannot help but feel captivated by their determination and passion. This artwork serves as a reminder of North America's rich sporting heritage and its ability to find joy even in freezing temperatures. It encapsulates both the beauty of nature during wintertime and our relentless pursuit of adventure. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this piece from The Stapleton Collection is an iconic representation of American culture that continues to inspire awe today.
