This glass negative shows horses gathered for a regiment identified only as the 59th, reportedly near Paris. The title comes from Bain News Service notes that the record itself marks as unverified, so the unit and location should be treated with caution. Armies on both sides of the First World War requisitioned large numbers of horses from farms and towns, and animals like these were essential for hauling supplies, artillery, and transport. The Bain News Service, a New York photo agency, sold images like this to newspapers, and its glass negatives now form part of the Library of Congress collection.
