content: A color print of a sleigh pulled by two horses overtaking an elderly couple in a sleigh pulled by a single horse. The sleigh pulled by two horses is tipping over, spilling its driver, still holding onto the reins, onto the ground. Mountains are in the distance, and the road is covered with snow and bordered with a stone fence. A church spire indicates a village.

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.
