Sumptuous lithograph of 19th century horse racing at its best. The action here will bring you right up off of your seat in this thrilling image by the great Currier & Ives. Highly collected for over 150 years, Currier & Ives was the preeminent printmaker of its time. Entitled “Pacing For A Grand Purse” this grand piece is in EX condition. Marked by the manufacturer in the margin, it is artist signed “L. Maurer’’. The print itself is folio sized (34 x 24-1/2”) in an old wood frame, adding to its unparalleled character. A keeper if there ever was one.
