label: Description
content: A color print of a four-story white frame hotel (Brighton Hotel) with shuttered windows and a veranda that extends around it. Next to it is another hotel building, a covered breezeway to shelter horses, and a long horse shed. The large yard in front of the complex is filled with horses and carriages, some out of the driver’s control and threatening to collide. There are sulkys, box wagons, and a handsome coach for four and a driver. The people are quite fashionably dressed. This is part of a pair that includes a winter 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.
