AMERICAN TROTTING MARE FLORA TEMPLE AND COLT
N.
Mitton Lithograph
Large
folio, Pub. by John Smith, c. 1870
SOLD - $2700
Flora Temple, the "bobtailed mare" of Camptown Races,
is shown in her last home, the famed Erdenheim Stud of Aristides
Welch, near Philadelphia. A prominent owner of runners and trotters,
Welsh bred Flora in her old age to the imported thoroughbred
Leamington. The foal, Prince Imperial, shown with her, was foaled in
1869 when Flora was 24 years old. He was trained and showed high
speed, but never raced, being sold to Robert Bonner, publisher of
the New York Ledger, who used his horses exclusively as road
horses in the "golden age of road driving." |
