Currier and Ives were famous for their chromolithographs, and this print entitled “Trustee” depicts the exciting scene of a horse race. The artwork shows a powerful brown horse galloping at full speed while pulling a single-wheeled cart. The driver, wearing a blue jacket and a cap, leans forward as he steers the horse through a turn. The dynamic composition, with the horse in mid-stride and the blurred wheel, captures the thrill and motion of the race, characteristic of the 19th century American printmaking style.
