The record gives the title as Horse Show 1912, but that label comes from caption cards and negative notes written at the time, so the exact event is unconfirmed. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency, produced and sold news photographs to newspapers, and its glass negatives record much of the city's public life in the early twentieth century. Horse shows of that era were fashionable gatherings where riders, owners and spectators appeared in formal dress, and the national shows held in New York drew wide press attention. Even with the caption unverified, the picture offers a direct look at how such events were photographed.
