COLLECTOR'S FOCUS ART OF THE HORSE

Horses have always been a part of the life of New York Citywork horses, show horses, carriage horses and the over 50 horses in the New York City Police Department Mounted Unit.
Thomas Worth (1834-1917) was a prolific illustrator and avid sportsman who also loved horse racing. He often sketched races that he attended with James Merritt Ives of the prolific printmaking firm Currier & Ives. He was a native New Yorker, born in Greenwich Village. When he was about 18, he showed a drawing to Nathaniel Currier of the same firm, who bought it for five dollars and later published it.
One of Worth's Currier & Ives prints is Fashionable "Turn-Outs" in Central Park, 1869, a humorous look at wealthy New Yorkers showing off their finery, horses and carriages on an outing in the park. The sleek beauty of the horses and the details of the many styles of carriages are complemented by the variety of people, humorous caricatures from the bored to the pretentious.
