Lead with the setting: a horse drinking from a water trough at the Bide-A-Wee Home for Animals, a shelter in New York City, the particular detail that sets this view apart from the city's street scenes. The shelter was one of the early organizations devoted to stray and abandoned animals in the city, and its horses would have been working animals or animals in its care. Public drinking troughs like this one were a common sight in New York around 1907, when horses still pulled most delivery wagons and carriages. The print was made by the Byron studio, a firm known for its photographs of New York, though the date and attribution come from an unverified caption card.
