Turf goods : fine harness, saddles, trotting and running horse outfits
A trade catalogue of 1892 issued by G.S. Ellis & Son of Cincinnati, offering fine harness, saddles and outfits for trotting and running horses to racing and horse-owning buyers. The engravings show saddlery and tack in plain line drawings, with a stiff pommel-free racing saddle, a reins-and-bridle set, and a leather harness hame or pad; a designer might take their clean, unshaded outlines as a model for simple equestrian icons.
