"Tacony and Mac: Hunting Park Course Phila., June 2nd 1853, by Louis Maurer" is a 19th-century lithograph created by the German-American artist Louis Maurer and published by the renowned firm of Nathaniel Currier, who later became part of Currier and Ives. The artwork captures a significant moment in American horse racing history, depicting a famous match race that took place at the Hunting Park racecourse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on June 2, 1853.

The lithograph illustrates the intense competition between two celebrated racehorses of the era, Tacony and Mac, as they compete head-to-head, surrounded by an excited crowd of spectators. The artwork is notable for its detailed representation of the horses, the jockeys, and the fashion and social atmosphere of the time, providing a window into mid-19th-century American culture and sports.

Louis Maurer (1832–1932) was an artist known for his work on genre scenes, animal pictures, and particularly for his contributions to the field of lithography. His collaboration with Currier, and later with Currier and Ives, resulted in numerous prints that were widely distributed and popular in American homes, often referred to as "America's printmakers."

The "Tacony and Mac" lithograph is an example of the type of work that contributed to the fame of Currier and Ives, and it remains a valuable piece of Americana, reflecting the public's fascination with horse racing and the broader cultural landscape of the United States during the mid-1800s. As a historical document, it offers insights into the sporting events of the time and the artistry involved in capturing such events for public consumption.

This lithograph is part of a larger body of work that documents the history of American printmaking and the role of lithography in shaping public perceptions of events and daily life in the 19th century. Collectors and historians value these prints for their artistic merit as well as for their historical significance.
