Harrison is shown mounted for polo, a sport that drew wealthy riders and large crowds to club grounds across the United States in the early 1900s. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, a New York picture agency that supplied newspapers and magazines with news and sporting images. The title comes from caption cards and agency notes that have not been verified, so the rider's identity and the date remain uncertain. Glass negatives of this kind hold fine detail, which makes the horse's tack and the rider's seat worth a close look.
