Ballot, the Champion Racehorse of 1908, Promotes Gombaults Caustic Balsam - A Remedy for Equine Health
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases Ballot, an iconic American racehorse from 1908. The vibrant color lithograph captures the essence of this magnificent thoroughbred as he gallops with grace and power. However, what makes this image truly unique is its purpose as an advertisement for Gombaults Caustic Balsam. In the early 20th century, advertisements often featured famous athletes or celebrities endorsing various products. In this case, Ballot's remarkable racing career was utilized to promote a remedy for equine health. Gombaults Caustic Balsam claimed to be a cure-all solution for horses' ailments and injuries. The juxtaposition of athleticism and medicine in this image highlights the importance placed on horse racing during that era. It also reflects society's fascination with finding innovative ways to enhance performance and maintain the well-being of these prized animals. As we admire Ballot's strength and elegance frozen in time through this photograph, it serves as a reminder of our enduring connection with animals and our constant pursuit of advancements in medical science. This artwork not only celebrates America's rich equestrian history but also symbolizes our ongoing commitment to healthcare and medicine within both human and animal realms.
