Fanny Wickes appears here on a horse named Sporty, and the pairing of a named rider with a named mount sets this picture apart from the many other horse portraits in the collection. It comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the archive of the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers in the early twentieth century. The record gives no firm date, and the title comes from caption information written on the glass negative that has not been independently verified. Even so, identifying both the rider and the horse reflects how press photographers of that era labeled sporting subjects for editors.
