This rare lithograph explores the race between nature and man, where horses gallop alongside a steam engine. Benton explored this theme in several paintings and his similar well-known lithograph titled The Race.

Vertical center crease; some mat burn and few margin spots; pinhole at each corner, likely from artist hanging; few soft sheet bends; hinging tape.
