Horse racing, champion horses and other competitive equestrian imagery were some of the more popular themes in the Currier and Ives catalogue. Beginning in the early 1880s, they produced more than 500 distinct images in this category. Unlike many of their earlier lithographs which were hand-tinted, this is one of their images which they printed using chromolithography.
