Salvete Omnes,
a quick post but the subject matter is grand - the American harness racing horses in the art of Louis Maurer.
Nota bene I had worked a little bit with the harness racing horses back in a day, it was very interesting to watch these powerful pacers & trotters eat speed in their sulky harness around the track, and later on when in a herd and at liberty prance among some apple orchards.
I would have provided some links to my favorite world library - Archive - but less than a month ago Archive was attacked by malicious hacking assault and has been restoring its services, especially the book library (Way Back machine is back and running).
So we have to have patience and meantime we can enjoy the equestrian lithography by Louis Maurer (1832-1932) - from Wiki Commons.
some flat racing American Thoroughbred -
Do note that Herr Maurer worked for Currier & Ives, the XIX century American printmaking firm, famous for their lithographies .
