About this artwork
This is a lithographic poster from 1900 by Edward Penfield, and its subject is a road cart drawn by a harnessed horse. The title points to a Kentucky breaking cart, a light vehicle of the kind used for training horses. Look for the details of harness and cart, and for the fashion of the day, which gives the scene its period flavour. Penfield was an American illustrator, often called the father of the American poster, and he played a major part in the development of graphic design. This work sits comfortably within that tradition of bold, clear poster art.
On your wall: It suits a study, hallway or sitting room, and would sit well in a country-style or traditional interior where horses and period character are welcome.
