Lot 9033: Stull - Harold Horse

This color-printed lithograph is from Henry Stull's American Racing Horses. The work was published by S. F. Cassino in 1881. The lithograph is mounted to card as issued by Armstrong and Company after the work of Henry Stull.

The work illustrated some of the most eminent race horses in America during the late 19th century. Henry Stull was one of the most prominent equestrian artists in late 19th- and early 20th-century America. His works can be found in many important collections such as the New York Jockey Club, the National Museum of Racing Hall Fame, and the Kentucky Derby Museum.

According to the accompanying text, the red bay "stallion Harold has the distinction of being the sire of the fastest trotter by the record, Mand S., that ever lived, and whatever may be the advances of the future in speed at this gait, this fact will be, for him, an enduring passport to fame." Foaled in 1864, he was bred by Charles S. Dole, of Lakeland Farm in Crystal Lake, Illinois and purchased a year later by Mr. R. A. Alexander of Woodburn Farm, Spring Station, Kentucky.
