"The Futurity Race At Sheepshead Bay" is a notable lithograph created by the renowned American printmaking firm Currier & Ives. Known for their prolific output of hand-colored prints that captured various aspects of 19th-century American life, Currier & Ives produced this particular piece to commemorate one of the most prestigious horse racing events of the era. The Futurity Stakes, held at the Sheepshead Bay Race Track in Brooklyn, New York, was a significant event in the horse racing calendar, attracting top thoroughbreds, jockeys, and a fashionable crowd.

The lithograph vividly depicts the excitement and grandeur of the race, showcasing the leading horses in full stride as they vie for victory. The attention to detail in the portrayal of the horses, jockeys, and the bustling atmosphere of the racecourse is characteristic of Currier & Ives' commitment to capturing the essence of contemporary American culture and events. The work not only serves as a historical record of the race but also reflects the broader social and cultural significance of horse racing in the United States during the late 19th century.

Currier & Ives, founded by Nathaniel Currier and later joined by James Merritt Ives, was instrumental in popularizing affordable art prints in America. Their works covered a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, cityscapes, historical events, and everyday scenes, making art accessible to the general public. "The Futurity Race At Sheepshead Bay" is a prime example of their ability to capture dynamic and lively scenes, contributing to their reputation as "the Grand Central Depot for Cheap and Popular Prints."

This lithograph remains a valuable piece for both art collectors and historians, offering insights into the sporting culture and artistic practices of the period. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Currier & Ives in American art history.
