Trotting-Club–Levalois. ca. 1893.
Inside the oversized horseshoe of the Trotting Club-Levallois, a three-day racing event unfolds: the great challenge of horsepower versus pedal-power commences. The viewing-stands are packed. During the 1890s, man-vs-beast races like this were common, and Buffalo Bill himself challenged cyclists to time trials of anywhere between three hours and six days.
