EDITORS COMMENTS
HORSE RACING, c1889. The Futurity Race at Sheepshead Bay captures the thrilling spectacle of jockeys and horses racing before a mesmerized crowd in Sheepshead Bay, New York on 3 September 1888. This engraving by Currier & Ives, created in 1889, transports us back to the late 19th century when horse racing was a popular sport that brought together people from all walks of life. The image showcases the vibrant energy of the racecourse as African American jockeys skillfully guide their powerful steeds towards victory. Their determination and athleticism are evident as they navigate through the track with precision and grace. The black jockeys' presence challenges racial stereotypes prevalent during that era, highlighting their significant contributions to this exhilarating sport. Surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd of spectators, this lithograph captures the essence of excitement and anticipation that permeated throughout Sheepshead Bay on that memorable day. The cheers and applause echo through time as we witness this historic event unfold before our eyes. This photograph print from Granger Art on Demand allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind its creation but also serves as a reminder of how sports can unite people across different backgrounds and cultures. It is a testament to both human achievement and the enduring spirit of competition.
