After Nathaniel Currier Lithograph Reprint, Stella & Alice Grey vs. Lantern
Framed lithographic reprint titled Stella and Alice Grey vs. Lantern and Whalebone, Passing the Stand. This artwork reproduces a famous 1855 trotting race scene originally lithographed by Nathaniel Currier, founder of the renowned printmaking firm that later became Currier & Ives. The lower margin is marked Reprinted from Lith. by N. Currier, indicating this is a later reproduction based on the original 19th-century lithograph. The print captures the spirited moment from June 5, 1855, at Union Course, Long Island, where two teams, Stella and Alice Grey versus Lantern and Whalebone, competed for a $2,000 purse in double harness. It features detailed depictions of the horses, sulkies, and drivers, framed against a period racecourse grandstand, reflecting the popular fascination with American trotting races of the era.
