EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Brush on the Homestretch: Between American Girl, Lucy, Bashaw Jr., Goldsmith Maid, Rhode Island and George Wilkes. In the Last Heat of Their Great Trot on the Prospect Park Fair Grounds, May 29th, 1869," offers a glimpse into the thrilling world of horse racing during the late 19th century in the United States. The image features five individuals intently focused on the final moments of a trotting race. At the forefront is an American girl, Lucy, her face etched with determination and excitement as she holds a brush in hand, ready to apply it to the winner's horse, Bashaw Jr. The Goldsmith Maid, Rhode Island, a horse owned by George Wilkes, is in the homestretch, its powerful legs propelling it towards the finish line. The other jockeys, including Wilkes, are locked in a tense battle, their eyes fixed on their horses and the approaching finish. The Prospect Park Fair Grounds in Brooklyn, New York, served as the backdrop for this exhilarating race, with spectators likely cheering and placing their bets from the sidelines. The date, May 29th, 1869, marks an important moment in the history of horse racing in America, as this image captures the raw energy and competition that defined the sport during this era. This photograph, preserved in the Mary Evans Prints Online archive, is a testament to the passion and excitement that surrounded horse racing in the late 1800s. It offers a unique perspective into a bygone era, inviting us to imagine the thrill of the race and the anticipation of the outcome.
