EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the sport of trotting horse racing in the late 19th century. The powerful and majestic stallion, Phallas, is shown in full stride, driven expertly by trainer Ed. Bithers. Phallas's sleek muscles ripple with each step, as he strains against the traces, propelling himself and his driver forward with unmatched speed and agility. The dam of this champion trotter, Betsey Trotwood, is represented in the background, standing proudly beside a tall, black stallion, Black Chief. The dam's regal demeanor and striking appearance are a testament to the strong bloodlines that produced the remarkable Phallas. The image is further enhanced by the skillful use of light and shadow, with the sun casting long, dramatic shadows over the track, and the vibrant colors of the horses' coats and the trainer's clothing adding depth and texture to the scene. The year is estimated to be around 1883, a time when horse racing was a popular pastime and a source of great excitement and pride for communities across the United States and Europe. The photograph serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of trotting horses and their dedicated trainers, who worked tirelessly to breed and raise champions like Phallas." "This photograph is a beautiful and evocative representation of a bygone era, and a reminder of the enduring allure of the sport of horse racing. It is a must-have for any collection of equestrian or historical imagery, and a fascinating addition to any discussion of the history of trotting horses and their role in American and European culture.
