Painting Description
"Celebrated Trotting Mare Lady Thorn, Formerly Maid Of Ashland" is a notable lithograph created by the renowned American printmaking firm Currier & Ives. Established by Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives, Currier & Ives became famous in the 19th century for their prolific output of hand-colored lithographs that depicted a wide array of subjects, including landscapes, historical events, and notable figures of the time. This particular print captures the image of Lady Thorn, a celebrated trotting mare who was originally known as Maid of Ashland.
Lady Thorn was a prominent figure in the world of harness racing, a sport that gained significant popularity in the United States during the 19th century. Trotting races, where horses pull a two-wheeled cart known as a sulky, were a major attraction, and Lady Thorn was one of the sport's most distinguished competitors. Her transformation from Maid of Ashland to Lady Thorn marked her rise to fame and success on the racetrack.
The lithograph by Currier & Ives not only highlights the mare's physical elegance and strength but also serves as a testament to the cultural and social significance of trotting races during that era. The firm's ability to capture such dynamic and spirited subjects contributed to their reputation as the "Grand Central Depot for Cheap and Popular Prints." Their works were widely distributed and accessible, making art and popular culture available to a broad audience.
Currier & Ives prints like "Celebrated Trotting Mare Lady Thorn, Formerly Maid Of Ashland" are valuable historical documents that offer insight into the sporting life and popular interests of 19th-century America. The lithograph remains a cherished piece among collectors and historians, reflecting both the artistic skill of Currier & Ives and the enduring legacy of Lady Thorn in the annals of American trotting history.
