EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The king of the road: Dexter driven by his owner Mr. Robert Bonner" from the New York Ledger, dated around 1866, showcases an extraordinary feat of horsemanship and athleticism in the heart of Brooklyn's Prospect Park. Mr. Bonner, a renowned figure in his time, sits confidently atop the powerful and sleek horse named Dexter. The scene is set on August 31st, 1869, as they approach a road wagon, which, with its driver, weighs an impressive 319 lbs. The clock is ticking as the duo sets off, determined to cover a mile in the shortest time possible. With a powerful trot, they manage to accomplish this remarkable feat in just 2 minutes and 21 3/4 seconds. This unprecedented performance left the spectators in awe, cementing Mr. Bonner's reputation as the 'King of the Road.' The serene atmosphere of Prospect Park, with its lush greenery and clear blue skies, serves as the perfect backdrop for this extraordinary display of horsepower and human determination. Dexter, with his ears pricked forward, seems focused and determined, while Mr. Bonner's confident and determined expression reflects his mastery over the situation. This photograph is a testament to the strong bond between man and horse, and the awe-inspiring feats that could be achieved with dedication, skill, and a little bit of friendly competition. A true celebration of the past, it offers a glimpse into the rich history of horse-drawn transportation and the remarkable stories that unfolded on the roads of Brooklyn over a century ago.
