EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Currier and Ives captures the thrilling atmosphere of the Jerome Park Horse Race in 1873. The American Jockey Club race took place at Jerome Park, located in New York City's Bronx borough. In this particular race, jockey Tom Bowling emerged victorious, guiding his horse to a stunning win in the two-mile race for three-year-olds on October 4th. The lithograph beautifully depicts the intensity and excitement of the event. Spectators gather around the track, eagerly watching as these magnificent horses thunder past them. The skillful rendering of movement and action transports viewers back to that momentous day over a century ago. Notably, this lithograph also highlights an important figure from racing history: African American jockey Tom Bowling. At a time when racial barriers were prevalent, Bowling's triumph serves as a testament to his exceptional talent and determination. Currier and Ives were renowned for their ability to capture significant moments through artistry, showcasing scenes that resonated with audiences across America. This print is no exception; it encapsulates not only the thrill of horseracing but also represents an important chapter in sporting history. As we admire this lithograph today, we are reminded of the legacy left behind by those who paved the way for future generations within equestrian sports – athletes like Tom Bowling whose achievements continue to inspire us all.
