EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HORSE RACING, c1876. The favorite in the pools: A mutual understanding" takes us back to the late 19th century American horse racing scene. The engraving, skillfully created by Thomas Worth for Currier & Ives in 1876, captures a moment of excitement and anticipation at a race course. The image showcases a bustling crowd gathered around an outdoor track, eagerly awaiting the start of a thrilling horse race. Men dressed in period attire fill the stands while others stand close to the track's edge, their eyes fixed on the action about to unfold before them. In this lively atmosphere, one particular horse emerges as the favorite among bettors - hence its title "A mutual understanding". This caricature-like depiction adds a touch of humor to the scene as it portrays both man and horse seemingly sharing an unspoken agreement or bond that sets them apart from other competitors. The lithograph beautifully captures not only the intensity of competition but also highlights social aspects such as fashion trends and leisure activities popular during that era. It serves as a window into history, offering glimpses into how people enjoyed entertainment during this time period. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable piece from their collection with great attention to detail and historical accuracy. As we gaze upon this artwork today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of America's most beloved pastimes - horse racing in all its glory.
