Its title, "Well together at the first turn," captures a racing moment: the field still bunched as it rounds the first bend of the track. The print was published in New York by Currier & Ives around 1873 and was drawn by John Cameron, whose signature appears on the image. Currier & Ives sold a large number of sporting scenes like this one, since horse racing and trotting drew wide public interest in the period. The print was produced as a chromolithograph, a multi-stone color lithograph, and it was then colored by hand, a step that let each copy vary somewhat in tone.
