Additional Information
Drawn in 1880 by the artist E. Cameron, this richly colored composition captures a Roman chariot race at full speed, with drivers urging their horse teams forward. The work emerged during a period of intense fascination with antiquity and its mass entertainments.
Its subject came from a literary sensation released that same year, a sweeping account of the first century that became the best selling American novel of its era. Commercial publishers moved quickly to supply audiences with views of its most celebrated episode.
By the 1880s, falling production costs had placed vivid decorative prints within reach of middle class households, and bold imagery found ready buyers. Scenes of athletic rivalry, combat, and heroic struggle hung in parlors across the country, bringing distant history into everyday domestic life.
Today this piece stands as a testament to the storytelling appetite of the Gilded Age and offers a window into how readers once imagined the drama of the past. Prized among collectors of early graphic art, it brings energy and grandeur to a study or den.
