EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the late 19th century horse racing scene, featuring the famous trotter, Emma B, formerly known as "Police Gazette Emma B." The image shows the horse in all its glory, proudly displaying its sleek coat and powerful muscles, as it stands in its stable stall. The property of this remarkable animal belonged to Richard K. Fox, a prominent figure in the world of horse racing and the proprietor of the renowned Police Gazette of New York. Established in 1833, the Police Gazette was initially a weekly newspaper that focused on crime news and reports. However, under Fox's leadership, it evolved into a popular publication that covered various topics, including sports and horse racing. Fox's passion for horses and racing led him to acquire some of the best trotters of his time, with Emma B being one of his most prized possessions. The photograph, taken around 1882, showcases the horse's impressive physique and the meticulous care taken in maintaining its health and appearance. The stable stall is adorned with a cozy blanket and a hay rack, indicating that every comfort was provided for the horse. The image is a testament to the deep bond between horse and owner, as well as the importance of horses in American culture during this era. Emma B's racing career was marked by numerous victories, and her name became synonymous with the sport of trotting. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history of horse racing and the significant role that horses played in American society during the late 1800s. With its striking composition and historical significance, this image is a must-have for any collection focused on horse racing, American history, or the Gilded Age.
