This 1888 chromolithograph card from the "World's Racers" series, produced by Allen & Ginter for their cigarette brand, depicts a jockey riding a chestnut racehorse named "Los Angeles." Part of a larger set of cards featuring famous thoroughbreds of the era, the image showcases the horse's powerful build and energetic gait, as well as the jockey's confident posture.
