EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the early days of horse racing in America, with the elegant and powerful trotting mare "American Girl" in full stride under the skilled guidance of her driver, M. Roden. Dated around 1870, this image offers a glimpse into the past when horse racing was a popular and prestigious sport. The mare, American Girl, is shown in her prime, her muscular body moving with grace and speed as she trots around the racetrack. Her sleek coat glistens in the sunlight, and her eyes are focused intently on the path ahead. The contrast between the dark, glossy coat of the horse and the light clothing of her driver creates a striking visual effect. M. Roden, dressed in a smart suit and top hat, sits confidently in the sulky, expertly guiding American Girl with the reins. His intense concentration and steady posture convey his experience and expertise as a driver. The connection between horse and driver is palpable, a testament to the deep bond that can form between human and animal in the world of horse racing. This photograph is a fascinating reminder of the rich history of horse racing in America and the important role that horses played in our cultural and social landscape. The image also showcases the skill and artistry of early photographers, who were able to capture the beauty and energy of this dynamic sport in a way that continues to captivate us today.
