This 19th-century lithograph titled "Dunbine, from The Worlds Racers series (N32) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, 1888" showcases the rich heritage of America's horse racing culture. Created by Allen & Ginter, a prominent tobacco company of that era, this print captures the essence of Victorian sportsmanship and elegance. In vibrant color and meticulous detail, the image transports us to a thrilling horse race in an idyllic countryside setting. A magnificent racehorse named Dunbine takes center stage as it gallops with graceful power under the skilled guidance of its jockey. The intensity and excitement are palpable as spectators cheer on their favorite horses from the sidelines. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly displays this piece within its collection, serving as a testament to both American artistry and sporting history.
