View of Happy Valley on Race Day

11" x 8" (C2371)
Original albumen print. William Prior Floyd
Circa 1869-70. Crowds have gathered on the infield, which offered the cheapest race tickets. In the foreground is a small group of sedan chairs and their bearers, resting after the hard labour of their journey from town.
