The title names a horse, Good Record, and shows its driver seated in a sulky, the light two-wheeled cart built for harness racing. Prints like this were popular in the late 1800s, when trotting races drew large crowds and a fast time could make a horse famous. Chromolithography, which used a separate stone or metal plate for each color, made these bright, detailed images affordable for ordinary buyers. Look at the low, slender frame of the sulky and the driver's posture, which show how racing vehicles were designed to keep weight low and speed high.
