A Crack Trotter, Coming Around" presents a harness horse in full motion, a subject that captured the excitement of trotting races. Trotters pulled light two-wheeled sulkies, and by the 1870s and 1880s the sport drew large crowds to county fairs and purpose-built tracks, so Currier & Ives produced many scenes like this for a public eager to follow it. Issued in New York in 1880, the print's title points to the moment a driver rounds a turn toward the finish. It offers a useful view of how the sport was pictured for home walls of its day.
