EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the excitement and grandeur of the Great Mississippi Steamboat Race, which took place in July 1870. The race was held between two iconic steamboats, the R. E. Lee under Captain John W. Cannon and the Natchez under Captain Leathers. In this image, we see the majestic steamboats racing against each other along the mighty Mississippi River, as they make their way from New Orleans to St. Louis. The competition was fierce, with both captains vying for victory. Ultimately, it was the R. E. Lee that emerged triumphant after an intense three days and eighteen hours of non-stop racing. Covering a distance of 1210 miles, this remarkable feat showcased not only the speed and power of these magnificent vessels but also highlighted their importance in transportation during that era. Lithographed and published by Currier & Ives - renowned American lithographers active in New York from 1857 to 1907 - this print beautifully captures every detail of this historic event. From the intricate designs on each boat's exterior to the determination etched on Captain Cannon's face as he steers his vessel towards victory. This print is a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance, allowing us to relive a thrilling moment in time when steamboats ruled America's waterways with grace and elegance.
