A glass negative of a man identified as J.C. Phipps on a polo pony leads this entry, though the record carries the title only as unverified information from the Bain News Service caption cards. The Bain News Service, founded in New York by George Grantham Bain around 1899, was a commercial photo agency that sold images of people and events to newspapers, and its collection holds tens of thousands of such negatives. Polo was a favorite sport of wealthy American society in the early 1900s, and sporting portraits like this one show how press photographers recorded those leisure pursuits. The undated record leaves the exact occasion open.
