content: A hand colored print of trotting horses pulling sleighs on the road in front of the “Brighton Hotel” (Brighton, MA), a three story frame house with shutters, gabled roof, and a veranda. Heavily clothed patrons sit in their sleighs heading away from the hotel. One sleigh is overturned and the horse is running away. There is snow on the ground. The sky is clear except for a few light clouds. This is one of a pair of prints; the other depicts a summer scene.
label: Description
content: Haskell and Allen’s most memorable productions were their horse prints. A Boston based publisher of lithographs, the firm seems to have issued more large folio images than small. Haskell began as a print seller with Haskell and Ripley (1868) but in 1869 he began a partnership with George Allen. In 1873 they moved to 61 Hanover St in Boston where they prospered for a few years. They went bankrupt in 1878.
