Description: Image of a mahogany brown trotting horse named Dan Patch shown in harness and sulky being driven by trainer Myron McHenry. The driver is shown sitting up straight in his seat and holding onto the reins of the horse with one hand, and a whip in the other. The horse, Dan Patch, is shown firmly standing with his feet on the ground and is looking at the viewer with a side-eye. The background includes an image of the International Stock Food Farm, part of the International Stock Food Co. owned by Marion Savage. Savage purchased Dan Patch and used the horse's racing record as way to promote his livestock feed business. Left of print includes text describing Dan Patch's racing experiences from when he was four years of age to seven years of age.
Approximate date based on name "M.E. McHenry Up." listed as trainer on print. Research shows that Myron McHenry was Dan Patch's trainer from 1901-1903, then replaced in 1904 by Harry Hersey.
