Bring up your horses" points to a scene of horses being readied or brought forward, though the record does not say whether for a race, a show, or work on a farm. Published in New York in 1886 by Currier & Ives, the lithograph comes from a firm that had spent decades turning popular subjects into inexpensive color prints for homes across the country. Its horse pictures, including trotters, hunters, and farm teams, were among its steadiest sellers and show how central the animal was to daily life and sport before the automobile.
