EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph from 1880, we are transported back to the thrilling world of horse racing. The print showcases "The King of the Turf". St. Julien, as he is skillfully driven by Orrin A. Hickok, a renowned figure in the sport during that era. The dynamic composition captures the intensity and speed of a race, with St. Julien's powerful physique on full display. St. Julien himself exudes an air of regality and confidence as he charges forward on the carriage course. His muscular frame glistens under the sunlight, while his mane flows freely in the wind - truly embodying his title as "The King". Orrin A. Hickok expertly guides him through each turn and straightaway with unwavering precision. This lithograph serves not only as a celebration of horseracing but also pays homage to two exceptional individuals who left their mark on this beloved sport: Currier & Ives, masters of American printmaking during their time. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, we can't help but be reminded of the timeless allure and excitement that surrounds horse racing events even now. It invites us to appreciate both the elegance and power embodied by these magnificent creatures while acknowledging those who have dedicated themselves to mastering their craft within this exhilarating realm.
