EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Brush for the Lead" we are transported back to the bustling streets of New York in 1867. The scene is filled with excitement as six sleek sleighs race through the snow-covered streets, leaving a trail of exhilaration in their wake. Amidst the flurry of activity, one man can be seen at the lower right corner, teetering on the edge of his sleigh, almost falling out. His expression captures both fear and determination as he clings onto his seat. The artist, T. Worth, has expertly captured the energy and thrill of this winter spectacle. Each horse gallops with fervor while pulling their respective sledges towards victory. Spectators line the streets, bundled up against the cold weather to witness this thrilling display of speed and skill. The setting itself adds to the charm of this print; towering trees stand tall along either side of the street, creating a picturesque backdrop for these daring racers. The crisp white snow blankets everything in sight, enhancing both beauty and danger simultaneously. This print from Hulton Archive/Getty Images serves as a timeless reminder of an era when horse-drawn transportation ruled city streets during winter months across North America. It immortalizes a moment frozen in time – capturing not only a thrilling race but also offering us glimpses into life during that period.
