The title places this picture at the Bay Shore Horse Show, an equestrian event held in Bay Shore on Long Island, New York, and names Emily Bedford as the figure in the back of the frame. The record does not give a date, and the title comes from caption information written by the Bain News Service, so some details remain unverified. The Bain News Service was a New York press agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers and magazines in the early twentieth century, and its glass negatives capture the period's interest in horse shows as social and sporting occasions. Horse shows of this era drew wealthy spectators and riders, so the picture offers a window into how such gatherings were recorded for the public.
