EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dated 1872, showcases the principal breeds of horses that were in use in North America during that time. The image features six distinct horse breeds, arranged in two rows. On the left side, starting from the top, we see an American Trotter, a Heavy English Draught Horse, and a Morgan Horse. The American Trotter was a popular breed for its speed and agility, making it an excellent choice for transportation and farming. The Heavy English Draught Horse was brought over from Europe and was used extensively for heavy labor tasks such as plowing and hauling. The Morgan Horse, named after its founder, was a versatile breed that could be used for various purposes, including riding, driving, and light draft work. Moving on to the right side of the print, we find an Arabian Horse, a Horse of Normandy, and a Race Horse. The Arabian Horse, known for its elegance and endurance, was highly regarded for its superior racing abilities and was often used in endurance races. The Horse of Normandy, also known as the Norman Cob, was a powerful draft horse breed that was used for heavy labor tasks, particularly in the farming industry. Lastly, the Race Horse, with its sleek build and muscular physique, was bred specifically for racing and was the epitome of speed and power during that era. This print provides a fascinating glimpse into the diverse range of horse breeds that were in use in North America during the late 19th century. Each breed, with its unique characteristics and uses, played a crucial role in the development of the region's economy and transportation systems.
