A glass negative from the Bain News Service, titled as a Rockaway hunt club meet, though the record flags that title as unverified. The Rockaway Hunt Club, founded in the late 1870s in what is now Cedarhurst on Long Island, was a fox-hunting club whose meets drew riders, hounds, and onlookers from wealthy New York families. The Bain News Service, a New York news photo agency active in the early twentieth century, documented such society events for newspapers. The record gives no date, so the exact year of the picture remains unknown.
