EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph series, taken around June 1878, captures the dynamic motion of Abe Edgington, a racehorse owned by Leland Stanford, in action during a trotting competition at the Palo Alto track. The horse, harnessed to a sulky and driven by C. Marvin, is shown in twelve frames, each one revealing a different stage of its 2:24 gait. The images offer a unique glimpse into the past, providing an intriguing look at the horse racing scene during the late 19th century. The horse's powerful muscles ripple with each stride, its hooves pounding the ground as it moves swiftly around the track. The atmosphere is electric, with the crowd likely cheering and placing their bets on their favorite horses. This photograph series is not only a testament to the beauty and grace of Abe Edgington but also to the excitement and thrill of horse racing during this era. The images have been preserved, allowing us to experience a piece of history and appreciate the artistry of early photographers.
