Manning and published by Currier and Ives in 1860, this color lithograph captures the essence of a thrilling race under the enchanting glow of a full moon. The scene unfolds with steamers and boats gliding through the misty waters, their paddle wheels churning up waves as they compete for victory. The air is thick with smoke from their mighty engines, creating an atmosphere of anticipation and excitement. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness every intricate element - from the elegant silhouettes of these vessels to the determined expressions on their crew members' faces. As we gaze at this masterpiece, our eyes are drawn towards an eclipse hanging above like a celestial guardian witnessing this extraordinary event. It adds an ethereal touch to an already mesmerizing composition. This print not only showcases America's rich maritime history but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and competitive spirit. It transports us back in time when river races were not just about speed but also about honor, glory, and proving one's prowess against fellow captains. Displayed at the Museum of City New York, "A Midnight Race on the Mississippi" invites viewers to immerse themselves in its vibrant colors and relive a moment frozen in time - where adventure met tranquility beneath a luminous midnight sky.
