"Flora Temple and Lancet Racing on the Centreville Course" is a lithograph by the American printmaking firm Currier & Ives, known for producing hand-colored lithographs of popular themes in the 19th century. The artwork captures a significant moment in American harness racing history, depicting a race between two famous trotting horses of the time, Flora Temple and Lancet. The Centreville Course, located on Long Island, New York, was a prominent venue for horse racing during the mid-1800s.

The lithograph portrays the excitement and competitive spirit of the era's harness racing, with Flora Temple and Lancet in the midst of a closely contested race. Flora Temple, nicknamed "The Bob-tailed Nag" from the popular song "Camptown Races," was a celebrated trotter known for her speed and endurance. Lancet, her rival, was also a well-regarded competitor on the racing circuit. The image captures the two horses and their drivers in intense concentration, surrounded by an audience of spectators, illustrating the popularity of the sport at the time.

Currier & Ives, consisting of Nathaniel Currier and James Merritt Ives, produced prints that were widely distributed and hung in homes and public spaces across America. Their work often depicted scenes of everyday life, historical events, and leisure activities, including horse racing, which was one of the premier sports of the 19th century. The firm's lithographs are now considered valuable records of American history and culture, and "Flora Temple and Lancet Racing on the Centreville Course" is a notable example of their contribution to the visual documentation of American sports.
