The horse Joe Elliott, owned by Mr. Bonner and driven by J. Bowen, is shown trotting in harness at Mystic Park in Medford, Massachusetts, on June 28, 1872. Robert Bonner, publisher of the *New York Ledger*, was one of the best-known patrons of harness racing in the 1870s and was known for owning fast trotters. Currier & Ives issued this chromolithograph around 1873, and the artist, John Cameron, signed his name on the image. Prints like this gave owners and fans a lasting record of celebrated horses and of the growing popularity of trotting races.
