EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Lion" is part of the iconic Worlds Racers series (N32) produced by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes in 1888. This exquisite print showcases the elegance and power of a magnificent racehorse, capturing a moment frozen in time during a thrilling horse race. The vibrant colors bring to life the energy and excitement that permeated the American horseracing scene in the late 19th century. The jockey skillfully guides his steed with determination, while other sportsmen can be seen in the background, adding to the atmosphere of competition. As an enduring symbol of America's sporting heritage, this artwork reflects both our country's love for horses and its passion for sportsmanship. It serves as a testament to Allen & Ginter's commitment to producing high-quality tobacco products that were not only enjoyed but also appreciated as works of art. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this lithograph has become an emblematic piece representing Victorian-era America. Its presence evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when horse racing was one of society's most cherished pastimes. "The Lion" transports us back to a time when horseracing captivated audiences across the United States. Through this remarkable image, we are reminded of our nation's rich history and cultural legacy intertwined with sport and leisure activities.
