Flora Temple, the bobtail mare, driven flat out by James D. McMann, her recorded harness times printed straight into the sheet's own title. Flora Temple was the horse that first trotted a mile under 2:20, and Currier & Ives sold that broken barrier as hard as they sold her likeness. The docked tail, cropped tight, the detail her nickname was built on. A stopwatch made her famous before a painter ever did.
