A man identified in the record as W.H. Moore poses with a four-in-hand, a team of four horses driven by one person holding every rein at once. Such turnouts were a fashionable pastime for wealthy men in the early twentieth century, when driving a coach through city streets or park drives was both sport and social display. The George Grantham Bain Collection holds this glass negative from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that supplied news photographs to newspapers. The record gives no firm date, and the sitter's name comes from caption information that the record itself marks as unverified.
