Original Description
The vibrant lithograph "Miller's Damsel," "George M. Patchen" and "Brown Dick" in Their Trotting Contest Over the Union Course, July 7, 1859 by Louis Maurer captures a thrilling moment in American horse racing history. Created during the golden age of lithography, Maurer's dynamic composition places viewers trackside as three celebrated trotters strain toward victory, their muscular forms rendered with palpable energy. The rich detail—from the horses' flying manes to the animated spectators—reflects both documentary precision and romanticized sporting spirit characteristic of 19th-century American prints. As part of Currier & Ives' popular racing series, this work exemplifies how commercial lithography democratized art while preserving America's emerging sports culture. Its historical significance lies in authentically recording a specific match race that captivated the public imagination, making it valuable both as sporting memorabilia and as a prime example of Maurer's ability to translate motion into still imagery.
For contemporary display, this lithograph's dramatic horizontal composition (original size approximately 9x15 inches) commands attention in traditional studies or executive offices. Frame it in a walnut or ebonized wood moulding with gold liner to complement the warm earth tones dominating Maurer's palette—burnt sienna racetrack, rich brown steeds, and dusty blue skies. Scale up to a 24x40 inch reproduction for feature wall placement above wainscoting or paired with other sporting art in gallery-style arrangement. The work's kinetic energy suits transitional interiors when balanced with modern elements: try hanging opposite abstract equestrian sculptures or alongside vintage racing memorabilia in display shelves. Optimal lighting should enhance the lithograph's subtle color gradations while minimizing glare on the glass—consider directional picture lights in spaces with controlled natural light exposure.
