A rider named Mr. Upson is pictured guiding his horse over a jump, caught in the moment of the leap. The print was issued by Underwood & Underwood, a photography firm known for numbered views issued in quantity during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The record gives no date, and its details come from an unverified caption card that files the picture under sports and riding. Jumping contests and similar riding events drew crowds of the era, and images like this one preserve the skill involved.
