About the Item
This is an original 19th century Currier and Ives hand-colored lithograph entitled "The Celebrated Trotting Team Edward and Swiveller, Owned by Frank Work Esq. N.Y.: Winning their match for $1,000, against time 2:20 to Wagon, driven by John Murphy. At the gentlemen's driving park, Morrisania, N.Y. July 8th, 1882", by Scott (Nicholas Winfield) Leighton (1849-1898), published in New York in 1882. It depicts a record holding trotting (harness racing) team of two horses and a driver. The lithograph is signed by the artist in the plate in the lower right.
This rare Currier and Ives colored lithograph is presented in a medium brown wood frame with a gold-colored inner trim and a cream-colored mat. The frame measures 30.25" wide by 41.25" high by 1.5" deep. There a few areas of linear white discoloration, but the print is otherwise in very good condition.
Currier and Ives was a prominent American printmaking establishment headquartered in New York operating from 1835 to 1907. Nathaniel Currier (1813-1888) started his business on his own, but later merged with James Merritt Ives (1824-1895), becoming "Currier and Ives" in 1857. They produced and sold hand-colored lithographs which could be produced relatively quickly and cheaply. They called themselves "the Grand Central Depot for Cheap and Popular Prints". The company published around 7,500 lithographs in its 72 years in business.

This is a hand-colored folio sized lithograph entitled "Iyngipicus Gymnophthalamus" (Ceylonese Pygmy Woodpecker) by John Gould from his monograph "The Birds of Asia", published in London in 1850-1883.
