Grand racer Kingston, by Spendthrift: dam imp. Kapanga, by Victorious, 2nd dam Kapunda, by Stockwell

Horses and horse races made up a large part of the Currier & Ives production for many years. The popularity of trotters and thoroughbreds was widespread in the country and as publisher's of popular themes, Currier & Ives were up to date for decades.

In 1857, Nathaniel Currier and James Ives became publishing partners in what was to become one of America's most historically significant chroniclers of American history from the 1850's to the 1880's. Currier & Ives recorded a wide range of subjects, events, and common happenings of American life. The firm employed many well known artists, but only a few of them are credited as the creator of their own images. The hand colored prints have become highly collectible and are found in many museums. The business closed in 1907 as new printing technologies and changing tastes emerged.
