EDITORS COMMENTS
Speeding on the Avenue, pub. 1870, captures the vibrant energy of a bygone era in this stunning colour lithograph by Currier & Ives. The American School's masterful illustration transports us back to 19th century North America, where the bustling streets are filled with an eclectic mix of fast-paced transportation. In this historical snapshot, we witness a captivating scene unfold before our eyes. Horses gallop alongside wagons and two-wheelers, while four-wheelers speed past with their occupants donning elegant top hats. The aqueduct in the background adds a touch of architectural grandeur to the lively street setting. The artist's attention to detail is impeccable; every element meticulously rendered in vivid colours that bring life and movement to the print. One can almost hear the sound of hooves pounding against cobblestones and feel the rush of wind as these vehicles race along. This piece from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a fascinating glimpse into America's rich history. It reminds us how far we have come in terms of transportation technology while evoking nostalgia for simpler times when horse-drawn carriages ruled the roads. Whether displayed in a gallery or cherished within your own personal collection, 'Speeding on the Avenue' invites viewers to step into an enchanting moment frozen in time – capturing not only an era but also our enduring fascination with speed and progress.
