A man identified only as O'More appears alongside a horse in this glass negative, and the title is the only identifying detail in the record, so his identity and the occasion remain unconfirmed. The picture comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, the work of a New York news photography agency that supplied pictures to newspapers in the early 20th century. Such agency photographs often captured sporting figures, horse shows, and street scenes, so the animal's presence suggests the sporting or working life of the period. Readers interested in the subject should note that the negative's size and medium point to the fragile glass plates the agency used.
