Description: Rare original antique engraving print from an 1860s illustrated journal. These two prints feature four famous trotters, with a long article describing them. The race horses shown are The American Girl, The Mountain Boy, Goldsmith Maid, and Lady Thorn. The article starts between them and continues on the back. Beautiful illustrations! The most famous of the four is Goldsmith Maid (1857 – September 23, 1885). She was a prominent Standardbred race mare in the 1870s that was called the "Queen of the Trotters" and had a harness racing career that spanned 13 years. Her last race was won at the age of 20 against a much younger horse named Rarus. She was inducted into the Harness Racing Hall of Fame in 1953. The print is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 11 x 15 inches (28 x 38 cm). The pictures and text fill most of it, with each individual horse measuring about 9.25 x 6 inches, with a caption below it. The page is in excellent condition for its age. There is text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition. This print will come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
