A New Jersey Fox Hunt. "A Smoking Run"

S. l.: s. n., 1876. Very good. Lithographed broadside, n. d. (ca 1876); 11 3/4 x 16 1/2; thick, card stock backing; a few small spots of foxing to margins; several small, closed cuts to edges; in about very good condition.Published by at least two publishers - Currier & Ives in New York and S. Lipschitz & Son in London (the current copy published anonymously - possibly pirated), the humorous image was created by prolific magazine and book illustrator and one of the foremost artists for Currier & Ives - New York-native Thomas Worth (1834 - 1917). He would be best remembered for his comical genre scenes; however, it has also been said that his depictions of African-Americans were usually racist and demeaning. The current broadside pictured a boy with a big cigar in his mouth, on a galloping donkey, with baying dogs following.
